If you’ve recently updated your BIOS from the official website and now find yourself unable to access the BIOS settings by pressing F10—the screen just freezes or gets stuck—don’t worry. This is a known issue that can happen after BIOS updates.
Here’s how you can fix it. First, try resetting your BIOS to its default settings. Sometimes, this can resolve access problems. If that doesn’t work, another option is to recover the BIOS using a USB drive with the BIOS recovery files. You can usually find detailed instructions for this process on your computer manufacturer’s support website.
However, if the usual reset and recovery methods don’t help, you may need to perform a BIOS chip reset or re-flash the BIOS manually. To do this safely, you’ll need to:
– Turn off your computer and unplug it.
– Open your computer case or access panel (if it’s a desktop).
– Remove the BIOS battery (a small round silver battery on the motherboard) and wait for about 5-10 minutes.
– Reinsert the battery, close the case, and then power your PC back on.
This action resets the BIOS to factory defaults and often restores full functionality. Be cautious with this step—if you’re unsure or uncomfortable doing it yourself, consider taking your computer to a professional technician.
Once you’ve reset the BIOS, try restarting your computer and press F10 immediately after powering on. If the screen still gets stuck, consult your computer’s support page or contact the manufacturer for more tailored guidance.
