I recently updated my chipset driver and GPU driver and now I am unable to launch into my BIOS. I do not know if either of these driver updates had anything to do with this issue but I only noticed it after installing them (I reverted to old versions of both, but this did not fix the issue). When I press the delete key on launch it just black screens and there is no option to launch UEFI in advanced troubleshoot startup. I've tried resetting the BIOS by removing the battery, which did not help. The reset clearly happened though because my RAM went down to 2400 mhz from the 3200 that it was set on in the BIOS (I changed it back to 3200 in ryzen master). I've seen some people with similar issues, but none of the presented solutions have worked in my case. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Not sure if it matters, but in system info it says my BIOS is in legacy mode.

My PC is around 3-4 years old and its specs are RX 580 GPU, 2600x CPU, and MSI x370 GAMING PRO CARBON.

Any further suggestions are much appreciated and please let me know if there is any other info on my PC that you need to assess the issue.

You should be able to access UEFI like this

Once you are in it check for Fast BOOT option and USB2 in Legacy mode.
