wireless keyboard? May need a driver which means windows must boot first. Fix: use a wired keyboard

USB in a USB3 port? Needs a driver so windows must boot first . Fix : use a USB 2 port

If you formatted the drive with Windows on(and you can not do that from windows ) you will need to reinstall from a recovery partition, orbfrom a dvd disk.
How didbyou accidently format that drive ?

First of all, you must spam F12, if you miss time it then you won't get in and it will just go to the OS, but thats not your issue because you formatted your drive, but repetitively tap F12 on start up and it may work.

I have had this problem and still do, after installing a newer GPU this actually freezes up the BIOS and makes me lose control so I cannot use my keyboard at all.

Have you installed a new component to the PC? mainly a gpu? if so please remove it and put in your old one as this can be a cause of it freezing up and not allowing you to control and access the submenus in the bios.
