Whenever I load my windows I'm prompt with a Ultra Durable 5 screen telling me the keys I can press to access my bios, advanced setup, etc. I've proceeded to press the bios key, del, in many attempts to access the bios, but it doesn't work. My screen freezes on the Ultra Durable 5 background and I'm forced to turn off and turn back on my PC. Also, I've tried hitting other hotkeys, such as the one for the advanced setup and it does the same. One more thing, I have been able to access my bios before by tapping the key, but it's pretty rare for me to get it working and it takes multiple attempts.

If you have any suggestions please leave them for me!

I see now. Unfortunately, I don't think I can be much of a help here either since monitors are not my area of expertise. But I put the OC tag in your thread, so I'm sure that a more experienced overclocker will come by and give you some more troubleshooting ideas.
However, I'd maybe try using a different monitor to enter Safe Mode as I'm not sure your TV will like the BIOS' resolution.

Good luck!

Hey there, Vivac93922!

Sorry to hear about your system freezes! I'd suggest you to try resolving the issue by resetting BIOS and see if that will help you access it. You can do this by resetting the jumper on the motherboard or re-seating the CMOS battery. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this: http://www.wikihow.com/Reset-Your-BIOS
This, however, will get your BIOS settings back to factory defaults, so you'd need to re-configure them afterwards.
Hopefully it will help you access BIOS though.

Keep me posted! :)

Well, I can't really open up my case and I have a very low chance of getting into my bios. The reason I'm trying to figure out why it keeps freezing is because I need to access my setup to enter safe mode. Recently I tried overclocking my monitor and a couple times it worked and sometimes it wouldn't and my screen would go black. To fix this I just had to restart my computer and it would start up fine. Well, I overclocked it a little bit more and my screen went black, but the next time I started my computer up it showed the motherboard hotkey functions and then showed the Windows 8 logo, but the screen went black after. It's not an issue with my PC, it's my monitor. I know this because I plugged it into a TV and it worked. Not sure if you can help me with that issue, but please if you can.
