After turning ON UEFI (Windows 8 feature) in the bios and installing windows 10 OS I'm getting a black screen every time I try to enter the BIOS and I need to hard restart the PC in order to get out of it.. I can boot to windows just fine but I cant go in BIOS by all means.. The only way is to reset CMOS but when I activate it again same shit happens... I hear this is called handshaking caused by the HDMI trying to get 1080p (my TV's max res) on the bios itself and the only way to enter it is to use an RGB cable but my GPU doesn't have any RGB ports... so what do I do? Should I reinstall the OS with Legacy Bios? (don't like the idea..) I'm also unable to use MSI Control Center and ClickBios.. when I try to start one of them I get infinite loading.. (last night I was playing with my gpu vbios and somehow in the morning I was able to enter the UEFI Bios twice but few hours later I tried again and BAM... black screen again... all I did was to uninstall the useless Control Center and ClickBios also the AMD Overdrive, but I installed them again and no change)

You are getting a black screen when you try to enter UEFI? Or are you missing the UEFI altogether due to fast boot? If it is the later you can force windows to restart into the UEFI. Setting, Updates & Recovery, Recovery, one of the option that I don't remember the name of.

Only UEFI (Windows 8 feature) is turned ON, everything else like the fast boot (and MSI fast boot) is off. When I pump the delete button when the pc starts I get a message in the bottom left corner "entering bios" and just a black screen follows till I restart the PC.. can boot to windows normally thou
