Hi there.
I have a. Schenker XMG A704, Windows 8.1 Pro.
Everything was running smoothly, until the machine went into hibernation.
Upon waking up, instead of loading the OS, BIOS loaded. This has happened on a couple of occasions before, and I don’t remember how, but I managadd to boot the OS on those occasions.
On this occasion however, there are no boot options. The BIOS sees the hard drive and the DVD drive, but there is nothing in the options that would allow me to select where to boot from. On start up there are only 2 keys that can be pressed it seems - F7, which states ‘boot options’ - however when selected, no boot options are shown, and one can only enter BIOS setup. F2 takes one directly into BIOS set up. In the set up itself, the only boot option is ‘Boot From UEFI’ when selecting that, it shows that theoltion is disable and it’s not possible to change. I also tried resetting the bios config to factory settings but it didn’t help. Finally I i serted recovery DVD but again there was no option that allowed me to load from it.
Any suggestions?
Logically I think I have only three options

- Somehow update the bios without access to OS (I don’t know how and any suggestions are welcome)
- get a new motherboard
