Hi there!
I'm having issues with my Rog Strix B650 A-Gaming bios Version 2613, I lost all hability to enter BIOS,previously I had to connect another keyboard as the main one looked like it didn't wake up in time.
Right now, (F2/DEL) won't do nothing except preventing the PC from booting and forcing me to reset it. If i want to enter the BIOS I need to clear the CMOS (Removing the battery), and even after doing this it won't show the "Press F1" screen to enter BIOS it gets stuck in the ROG logo until I remove the keyboard/mouse and reset it (the other keyboard that used to work doesn't anymore).
After repluging the keyboard/mouse and pressing F1 to enter the BIOS I found out I can't even update the BIOS to the newest release as of date of writting (Version 3014) because as soon as the PC reboots in order to start the BIOS update, if I have the keyboard/mouse hooked up I loose DP signal and have to reset the PC, which boots the PC normally, If I remove the keyboard/mouse when the PC resets it won't update either and just proceed to boot normally...
At this point I'm lost and have no ideas of what to do unless RMA it or leave as is... Thanks for any help in advance!

Hello,
Update BIOS to a Stable Version:
You mentioned trying different BIOS versions. If you haven’t already, consider using BIOS version 1636, as some users have reported stability improvements with it.
Official Login Link
To update the BIOS, follow the official ASUS instructions for your specific motherboard model.
Reset BIOS Settings:
Sometimes incorrect BIOS settings can cause boot issues. Try resetting the BIOS to default settings:
Restart your PC and repeatedly press the appropriate key (usually DEL or F2) to enter the BIOS.
Look for an option to reset to default settings (often labeled “Load Optimized Defaults” or similar).
Save the changes and exit the BIOS.
Check Memory Settings:
If your PC is stable with DOCP (XMP) enabled, try enabling “Memory Context Restore” in the BIOS:
Enter the BIOS.
Navigate to the AI Tweaker page.
Find “Dram Timing Control” and enable “Memory Context Restore” if available.
Disconnect Unnecessary Peripherals:
Before updating the BIOS, disconnect all unnecessary peripherals (including keyboard and mouse) to avoid any interference during the update process.
After the update, reconnect them and check if the issue persists.
Consider RMA:
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may need to consider contacting ASUS support or considering an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) for your motherboard.
Remember to back up any important data before attempting BIOS updates or major changes. If you’re still having trouble, reaching out to ASUS support directly might provide additional insights or solutions. Good luck, and I hope your issue gets resolved soon!
