I am using an 8 your old PC. Whenever I try to enter the BOIS settings I just get a black screen.

Another thing that might be of use is that the BOOT Device Led stays red once I try and open BIOS settings. Also my motherboard does not have integrated graphics

The Things I have tried so far:

-Hard reseting my PC (holding the power until the computer shuts off)
-Booting the computer without ssd's or hdd's plugged in
-Using the DirectKey button
-Reseting CMOS by removing the battery for 5 minutes
-Making sure that there are not any mount screws that are poking the back of my motherboard
-turing off fast startup

If anyone can solve this you will be a life saver!!


Edit: Also I should note that my motherboard is a M5A99X EVO R2.0
