Hi all,

Ran into an issue today with a 2 week old PC, not sure if it did it before or not, however When i access BIOS and exit without saving changes, then following happens

GB Z97 Gaming 7 Mobo

Normal Boot - Loads windows fine
Fast Boot - PC appears on, lights on - (KB, Mouse and Monitor have no signal)
Ultra Boot - Loads windows fine

Anyone ever seen this?

Fast boot will load windows without things like USB ports or anything attached to the USB ports until after windows launch, unless you specify in the bios to include mouse/keyboard in the boot. Normal boot and ultra boot will load the usb drivers.

The point of the fast boot is you can tell it to boot only the things you need at start up like your Windows drive. I have fast boot on with Keyboard mouse and my External and other drives do not load up until after windows boots up.

Thanks for the reply,

When using fast boot from a restart or normal shut down, it works perfectly, windows loads everything works as it should.

Its only when I go into BIOS, then exit BIOS and it then tries to get back to Windows I just get blank screen (not supported, no KB lights and no mouse lights)

Just seems weird its only after BIOS, Ultra seems to work fine after BIOS as does normal. So a little confused

We have had storms, but PC was unplugged at the wall before it.

The PC boots perfectly every time, the only time it fails is if I have fast boot activated enter the bios then exit the bios.

Monitor, KB and mouse wont turn on then

Well here are two things you can do relatively easily. Update the BIOS. Rervert the Bios to optimized defaults and/or clear the CMOS and revert back to make sure nothing got out of whack when it happened.

Revert to the default bios, or use the switch (flip the physical switch) on the motherboard and use the OTHER BIOS. (DUAL BIOS)

And take the CMOS battery out, do a static release, just in case.
