Cant boot into BIOS (Asus PRIME B350-PLUS)

[kc20121]

Hello, I have just purchased this PC about 3 weeks ago, with the help of this community that recommended me to give Ryzen a shot, so my main problem is, I cant access the BIOS, I shut down my computer, and when I turn it back on, it doesnt show me the ASUS screen where I should press F8, it just directly to the Windows 10 Login Screen, My full build is the following:
Motherboard: Asus PRIME B350-PLUS
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700
GPU: Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1080
SSD: Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB
HDD: Toshiba DT01ACA200 2TB
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4 2800 C16 2x8GB (16GB DIMM DDR4 2133 MHz clocked @ 1067 MHz)

Now the reason I want to enter my BIOS is to check why my RAM is running at 2133MHz if its compatible to run up to 2800 MHz (I think), does anyone know what is happening? thanks!

According to your motherboard's manual, you should press F2 ou DELETE to enter BIOS, not F8.
Keep pressing one or the other as soon as you see the black screen with ASUS or WINDOWS logo.
It should take you into the BIOS/UEFI.

Hello, thanks for reply, if I press F2 or F8 or whatever key I press, my computer stays in a loop where my monitor shows "DisplayPort" and then shuts down and so on until I reboot, uploading video.

Edited and added video.

Apparently, your monitor is not detecting signal from your VGA during boot. At least not from the displayport connection...
How are you connecting your VGA to the monitor? Have you tried to change the source on you monitor? HDMI, DVI, Etc...
I know some motherboards if setting fast boot to ultra fast, or something in the UEFI, the boot process is so fast, that you can't even enter the bios pressing keys, you have to download and install a software from the board manufacturer in Windows to reboot to uefi. That happened to me with an Asrock H110M. But that doesn't seen to be you case.
Can you get into Windows? I mean, if you don't press any keys during boot?
And you said that it stays in a loop and then shutdown. But what shuts down? The monitor or the computer?

Forgive my poor information, I´m using Displayport, and I spam the F2 key even if nothing is displayed on the monitor, and, when I press F2, it stays in an infinite loop, until I press CONTROL + ALT + DELETE (restart), If I dont press any key, it will start normally, thanks for your time
EDIT: I plugged in both my HDMI and DisplayPort and now I managed to access the BIOS, my next problem is, My RAM is clocked at 2133MHz, and I tried to load D.O.C.P from the memory, but computer restarted like 3 times and nothing happened

EDIT:
Here is a picture of the profile that is shown, when I enter advanced mode, none of the speeds for the ram are 2800MHz, the ones closest are 2933MHz and 2666MHz, so I chose 2666MHz, and the computer rebooted 3 times, no changes were actually made,

You're using bios version 0613, which is really really old, without all the optimizations AMD made to AGESA to help with memory frequency/overclocking.
Please update to the latest 3203 BIOS from ASUS website, and try setting RAM to 2800 again.
Refer to the board manual for more detailed instructions, if you never update a bios before.
Doing it wrong could brick your board...

OhI see, thanks, but should I first update to 1071 and then to 3203? or can I update all the way up to 3203? thank you

EDIT: I checked on my motherboard´s website, and I saw that I can just install the last update because it includes all others, and I restarted after successfully installing version 3203, I loaded D.O.C.P RAM Profile, and I got it working, thank you so much for your help,

That's great!
I'm thinking of buying a ryzen too, but I'll wait until "ryzen refresh" next year, and maybe ram prices will come down by then... Here in Brazil a 16GB kit 3200MHz Cas 14 costs more than 400$USD. That's crazy high!!! That is more than CPU+mobo...

 

[kc20121]

In all honesty, ryzen is very good for multitasking, but for gaming I´d rather go on intel side, more performance on single tasks like games, a friend with a 1080 and an i7 7700 stock speed has 144fps on PUBG, I get around 80 - 90, but maybe there is some way to overclock my ryzen procesor, just with chrome open my temperatures are at 50°,

 

[GustavoVanni]

Oh yes.
For pure FPS in games a i7 7700 is better depending on resolution.
And PUBG is so poorly optimized for multi-thread CPUs. Actually few games are.
That's why fast ram speed/low cas is so important to Ryzen, because they run in slower core frequences compared to Intel and faster and lower latency memory really helps (but costs a lot of $$ right now).
I've heard that next year Ryzen 2 will be 10-15% faster (higher frequency) than the first gen model, so a 350-500MHz more in single core performance should help close that gap to Intel a little.
But I'll be gpu limit any way, 'cause I can't afford a 1070/1080. Maybe a R5 1600 and a GTX1050 or a 1050 Ti, maybe....

About overclocking your CPU.
Just try it! Go to BIOS and set core multiplier to 3.5 or 3.8. See what happens. If it gets too hot try to lower vcore.
I don't have one here so maybe I can't help you in this, but there's a lot of info about overclocking Ryzen on internet these days.
Who knows! Maybe you won the silicon lottery and your R7 1700 reaches 4GHz on stock air cooler!!

I forgot to mention that I´m running water cooling, but the problem is that I only have the liquid cooler fan, no intakes, so I need to get some fans for intake, and since I live in México, its always so hot, thank you so much for your help, you seem pretty nice for not receiving a payment 😉
