Hello.

My computer used to have Windows 7 and I later upgraded (or downgraded depending on how you look at it) to Windows 8.1. I have the MSI p55-GD65 motherboard and I can no longer enter the BIOS. I've tried pressing/spamming "del" and "f2", but nothing happens. I tried to turn off "quick start", but yet again nothing happens. And when I try to do a advanced startup, there's no UEFI option. So what to do?
 

Try shutting down from the Windows key plus 'X' menu...

I've tried that before, didn't help. But I think it has something to do with updgrading from Windows 7 to 8, but I'm not quite sure. Because I could enter the BIOS menu before by pressing "del" and now I can't.
 

Disconnect your HDD, should get you into BIOS! As you say, looks like W8 locked you out...
