Can't access Bios of MSI Z87M-G43.

I enabled a "fast boot" or something in the bios. I downloaded the MSI Fast Boot utility tool to disable it but it doesn't work. Any help?

Fast boot means it doesn't show the picture about what button to press to enter bios, boot menu ect... Restart your PC, and spam the button that opens bios, which is usually dependant on what motherboard you have. Not sure which on is for your motherboard, but try F8, F9, F12 or DEL button. Spam click any these buttons while booting to enter it.
Good luck

DEL is the key that opens up the BIOS. I did try spamming the key but nothing happens. Just a black screen. My OS doesn't even boot.

Windows boots normally if I don't do anything but I'm getting an SSD soon so I need to access my BIOS. If it helps, I'm on Windows 8.1

You could clear the CMOS memory to revert that setting (and everything else): unplug the computer, pull the battery, wait 5-30 minutes, then put it all back (or follow the directions in your motherboard manual).

But your particular board has the MSI GO2Bios button, so all you have to do is press that. Here is a tutorial!

Yeah that's what I mean with "MSI Fast Boot utility tool" (it's what it's called). Tried it and didn't work. Guess I'll have to reset the CMOS. I'm more of a software guy than a hardware guy so I'll let the local computer shop do it. Haha. Will report back when it's done. Thanks guys!
