Stuck in bios screen!?
Hello everyone I'm hoping some of you may be able to shed some light or help to resolve my issue. I really would like to save some money and avoid seeking a technician or upgrading hardware. I really love computers but this problem has been giving me much grief.
So anyways, I recently upgraded my computer from the following specs
CPU-intel i3-4160
Mobo-ASUS H81I PLUS
Stock cooler
GTX 750ti SC EVGA
Corsair 430
8gb ddr3 1600
Mini itx case
1 TB HD
I upgraded to-
CPU-i7 4790K
Same Mobo
Hyper 212 evo
GTX 1070 SC EVGA
EVGA 600b
Same memory config
NZXT H440
Same 1TB HD
My goal was to upgrade the computer for mainly gaming and get a nice shiny new case. I figured I'd up the PSU to accommodate the new video card. I also upgraded the CPU, so I got the hyper 212 evo.
Its cheap and considering I'm running at a much higher clock speed of 4.0, I figured I would need a better cooler then stock running an i7. Not really planning on OCing. I then wanted a better GPU so I got the GTX 1070. I kept the same HD and the same memory. I also kept the same Motherboard seeing as I was concerned I would have to get another copy of windows. I also got the H440. Yea so that's also an upgrade. I figured since I was basically running the same computer with a few upgraded parts like the CPU, GPU , and case, the computer was essentially, the same build. I figured I'd install the parts like any upgrade and would go right into Windows, and I would then update my drivers and be off on my way. I figured things would be fairly simple and this would not be a completely new build. Looking at things now this is feeling like a completely new build. After troubleshooting a few things a long the way, like failing to post and not seeing a video signal after the computer finally turned on, I've finally made it to the BIOS screen where the computer is detecting my CPU, memory and USB devices. The problem is the screen says "please enter setup to recover BIOS settings. Press F1 to run setup" . And after pressing F1, nothing happens. My keyboards LED lights are on as well as my mouses so that confuses me. Sometimes the computer also fails to turn on. This really boggles me. For instance I thought if I put windows on a flash drive and put it in, my computer might bypass the BIOS and run straight to windows but the computer failed to even turn on.
I swear I'll be at the point where I can power on and at least post to the BIOS not to mention the other problems, and then the computer will fail to even get back to starting. I guess that's a whole separate issue. The problem at hand now is being stuck at this damn BIOS screen. Again I thought this would just be an upgrade of parts and I would go straight back to windows. I don't see why I'm stuck at the BIOS screen. I mean I have the same Harddrive. So all my stuff is still on there . I already had windows, some steam games I downloaded, and other apps and things too. Why is it that all I'm seeing is the BIOS? I'm very confused with this. Any help is much appreciated.
