Hey everyone. Hope all is well and many thanks in advance.

I've encountered an issue where I changed the bootable drive in my bios settings. I have a bit of experience with changing the drives but I'm a bit sick and I kinda messed it up.

I changed the boot drive but now It won't allow me to change it back to the windows boot manager because I can't even access the BIOS from my mobo. I just get the message of "reboot and select proper boot device"

Here the issue is that It boots really fast and no matter what i press it won't allow me to enter the bios. I've already checked the keyboard and it works fine on other computers. It's a usb keyboard.

any suggestions are welcomed.

Reset the BIOS by removing the CMOS battery might allow you to revert the changes.
Power off, and disconnect the power cable.
Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds.
Remove the CMOS battery from motherboard.
Wait a couple of minutes and place the CMOS battery back.
Connect the power cable and power ON.

Disable Fast Startup in Windows so you are able to access the BIOS.
Go to Settings->System->Power & Sleep
On the right, click the 'Additional power settings' link
On the left, click on 'Choose what the power button do'
Click on 'Change settings that are currently unavailable' link.
Uncheck 'Turn on fast startup (recommended)' then click 'Save changes' button.
Shutdown the computer (do not reboot), wait a minute then turn it back on and try accessing the BIOS.

Thank you for answering. But the computer won't even allow into windows, nor the bios settings. I'm stuck in a black screen.
