[SOLVED] Bios doesn’t work at all

[guywhoneedshelp22]

Hi guys, I have recently been just busy with life and just recently decided that I would play some games on my desktop. However, I noticed that for some reason my bios doesn’t keep my XMP Settings enabled and now I can’t even boot into the bios at all, it just black screens and stays frozen and only lets me boot into windows. I have tried resetting the CMOS by taking out the battery and it was working fine until recently when I tried to get into it again. Is my bios dead??? How should I go about fixing this or do I need to buy another motherboard?

my specs:
Ryzen 5 3600
Rtx 3080 EVGA FTW3
16gb DDR4 3600mhz
500gb WD black SSD NVME
B450m pro4
Hyper 212 Black RGB
Corsair RM750i
1tb toshiba HDD

Hey there,

Try replacing the CMOS battery and see if that solves it.

I was recently thinking that the battery might’ve died, but the motherboard is 3 years old, I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.

Easy fix, worth trying regardless. I wouldn't expect a battery to lose it's power like that, but it's possible.

There may be a way to recover bios! On some it's as easy as formatting a usb to work at fat32 filesystem and adding the (whateverbios).bio file to it and booting up and waiting for the bios update to finish, sometimes a motherboard will have dual bios and there's a button or jumper to trigger and it goes to default bios- at that point I'd update the bios from Asrock.

Update your bios.
If your computer has SS USB port use that while updating bios.
If not use regular one.
