Windows 10: Bios Oddity

Just built a computer and when I boot it up it takes me to the splash screen which says press del to enter bios ect. Im using a wireless usb keyboard and when I press it and the speaker makes a typing noise but nothing happens?? How can I get it to actually enter bios because it obviously detects the keyboard. I tried all usb ports. Figured this keyboard would work as it's plug and play. Bios I'm using is American Megatrends.

Hi,

You can try to run
System File Checker, for possible resolution.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Explorer oddities





I found THIS in my user folder yesterday. It disappeared an hour ago even though my PC has been on for the entire time. I'm referring to the blank... thing in case anyone's wondering. I could not use the LMB, RMB, or Enter key while my cursor is over the
area on the monitor the file resides even in programs that are over it and/or fullscreen.

wut?

 

Is the receiver plugged into a USB 2 or 3 port? If 3, try 2.

 

It might depend on what wireless keyboard you use and if it works properly at boot time. Ive never had one not work, but you never know what some manufacturers do. Sometimes a single press of the BIOS key isnt enough to get the system to see it. Try to keep pressing the key about twice a second once the splash screen shows up and see if that gets you into the BIOS.

 

Okay I did this and it says entering setup.. hopefully it works

 

and in addition to post #3 also, don't wait for the screen to come up telling you which key to press. Just start immediately pressing it after pressing the power button.

 

I press it immediatly and now it just says "entering setup" forever, then eventually powers down

 

Time to try a wired keyboard then look at the BIOS setup for clues maybe?

 

I dont own one. It just says entering setup.. Please Help

 

You said this is a brand new machine. Go basic, no drives, nothing unnecessary, one stick of memory in the right slot according to manual. If that doesn't work switch memory module.

What motherboard are you using?

 

One stick of ram? Ok the speaker is beeping one time meaning dram refresh error. Need to find a way to fix this. Mobo is a jetway NF9F-H61

 

Power down, unplug, carefully remove cmos battery, press power button 10 secs. Reassemble, boot.

I can't find the cmos battery. Not the usual coin shaped one. Ugh
