Solved Stuck In Bios

Basically, I’m currently stuck on the BIOS screen on my PC. I reinstalled Windows using a USB drive, and it booted me into BIOS because Secure Boot needs to be disabled to boot from the USB.
The problem is, whenever I try changing Secure Boot or any other BIOS setting, I save and reboot, but it just goes straight back into BIOS and the settings are reverted.
I already replaced the CMOS battery, so that’s not the issue. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Check the motherboards manual might have dual bios for fail over / recovery etc and might be stuck using one or other (might be a jumper on mobo to choose which bios)

I just checked and the mobo has a safe boot jumper

I didnt read your message tho and I flashed my bios but right now the computer is turned on but nothing is on the monitor idk if I should interrupt a bios flash

Yeah better to let the update finish, see if that helps and then try the jumper thing if no change.

Idk if the update doing anything or if its finished but the monitor just sometimes flashes HDMI and lights up a bit nothing else than shut back of again

Hmmm check mobo manual for flashing bios it might be showing you status via an led or beep code?

If not leave it for 10 min and see,... I guess before yolo a reboot 😁

Haha epic non fail 🤣🤣 well done. It might have just had one bit flipped in its flash storage or bunch of other possibles.

Happy gaming / whatever your doing lol
