B150M PRO-VDH - Can' t access BIOS. Please Help!!!!

[pmsr80]

I've a motherboard MSI B150M PRO-VDH for three weeks (and the rest of the components of the computer) and I don't really know for sure since when, when I was trying to access BIOS (to change the boot order...), I realized, there wasn't any message to press Del to go to BIOS. I restarded the system, and even without the message to press Del, I pressed it continuosly... and nothing happened! Not even the normal start of Windows!!! Only a black screen... I had to hard shutdown the computer.
I don't know what to do and as you know, I really need do access BIOS!

I've already removed the battery with no change. After a boot, the sistem goes directy to Windows 10 login without showing me screen to select "Del" to enter BIOS.

My config is:
Windows 10 Pro
Intel Core i5 6400
Motherboard MSI B150M PRO-VDH
G.Skill AEGIS DDR4-2400MHz 2 x 8GB 2400 @ 2133 (because the XMP of the board doesn't allow higher speeds)
Case Nox Hummer MC Black
PSU XFX TS Bronze 550w
HDD WD Caviar blue 3,5” 1TB 7200RPM
SSD Crucial BX 200 240 GB
Sapphire Radeon RX480 Nitro+ OC 4GB GD5
Asus Wireless N 300Mbps PCIe
LG 24MP68 @75Hz - hdmi

Please Help!! What can I do to regain access to BIOS?!
Thanks

This is Asus FAQ but it also applies to MSI.

Thank you for your answer but I' ve already tried to use that method... with no results 🙁
Turned off the fast startup and used that combination of keys and the boot went directly to windows 10 login 🙁

Hi,

Is there anything I can do to regain access to BIOS??

 

[pmsr80]

I have to present the resolution of the situation, because of those who showed interest in helping and also because of all those who have, had, or will have the same problem, since I didn't saw written anywhere, any information by LG (LG24MP68 monitor) or by graphics card manufacturer, in this case, Sapphire or ATI.
Very briefly, after several attempts to "recover" the lost access to the BIOS, I began to uninstall all critical things that seemed to be able to influence... something. Therefore, any software associated with the MSI (because of MoBo) was uninstalled (one program at a time ...). After rebooting, all the same.
Later I uninstalled the drivers of the Sapphire Radeon RX480.

It was when the s***t hit the fan, because after the reboot, I could no longer access Windows as the login screen did not appear. Only the monitor message of the signal absence and then black screen.
Hereby the keyboard, continued to blink and the computer needed a few seconds with the power button pressed to shut down, and other things which indicated that the computer worked but that something was really wrong when it came to viewing.
Already in desperation and, after some logistical work 😛, I connected the computer to a Samsung 32 "TV (always HDMI).
I turned the computer on and quickly screen appeared from MSI with the options to enter the BIOS and a few seconds later, the Windows login screen 0_o !!!!!
I rebooted again the machine and saw in the television that message stating the type of connection in that source: 1980x1200 60hz. This was where I heard the bells ringing!!!!!!

When I bought this card and monitor it was because of the quality / price ratio of the two and monitor with Freesync and card Freesync Compatible.

With this technology, it' s possible to raise the refresh rate of the usual 60Hz to 75Hz, thus increasing the number of possible fps to transmit to the monitor but most important, to end with screen tearing, without resorting to bulls**t V-Sync that in many situations, destroys more games and gameplay than it helps improve viewing.

Thus, the BIOS (or in this case the home screen boot) does not appear visible with the active Freesync, appearing only, the Windows login screen!!!!
This is so basic that "So, it was only necessary to turn off the Freesync to regain access to the BIOS entry screen"! Not so! This is because, for any reason that transcends me, the Freesync is only activated and deactivated effectively in the MONITOR ITSELF menu!!! The options only appear unlocked... if the monitor is receiving an image (signal) 🙁 !!!!!!!!!

(No signal, this menu is not accessible ...)
With this option "On", it's possible to enable Freesync in the ATI software.

Similarly, as is on the monitor menu, it is possible to raise the refresh rate to 75Hz, in Windows own display settings.

Therefor, In conclusion, for those who have a similar problem, not knowing if this applies to technology G-Sync (monitors and compatible cards) or even other Freesync combinations (monitors and graphic cards): it' s not possible to "see" BIOS access screen at 75Hz but you can "see" the OS login screen (and use the OS it self of course).
To "see" the BIOS access screen is required to downgrade the refresh rate to 60hz or turn off Freesync on the monitor itself!!!

The post is long but hopefully will serve to save work and trouble to others that like me, find themselves grappling with this issue and that in the literature of their respective manufacturers, nothing is available.

Greetings and thanks to all

P.S.: Sorry for anything wrong with my english...
