[SOLVED] BIOS Won't Open

[arminoss]

Hello - hope all is well.

I am trying to access my BIOS but it doesn't seem to open, I don't even see the screen with the motherboards logo. I checked that fast boot isn't on in Windows, and in the app center of the motherboard (Aorus app center).

I've reset CMOS via taking out the battery and waiting 10 minutes, and again on a separate try, using the jumper the motherboard came with.

I also restart my PC holding shift to access UEFI and when it prompts to restart...it just restarts to windows. I'm not sure what else I can do, I'm spammed the delete key as well as F2 and a few others on separate tries and still don't get to the BIOS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! PC specs below, thank you!

Windows 10 x64
Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus z590 Elite
CPU: Intel i7-11700K
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6GB
RAM: Ballistix 32GB DDR4-4400

This motherboard?

Verify that I found the applicable User Manual.

Per physically numbered Page 25:

"To access the BIOS Setup program, press the < Delete > key during the POST when the power is turned on"

Start rapidly tapping the DELETE key before switching on the power.

If that does not work swap in another keyboard - may be able to "type" faster.
