Hello. I have a PC that I built myself. It has a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H motherboard, i5-4560, and Windows 10. Last night, I read on a website that said something about turning on fast boot in the BIOS settings to make it turn on faster. I think it also said something about making the boot sequence go to the hard drive first and turn off devices that I am not using, So I went into the BIOS settings and turned on fast boot to "Ultra". The part that I am guessing that screwed it up is when i replaced Windows boot manager in the boot sequence with my hard drive. But thinking back at it, there is a possibility the option wasn't my hard drive. It started with "WDC". My hard drive is made by WD. Was it most likely the hard drive? If it isn't I thought it was because it started with WD. When I turned on the computer, it does not boot anymore. It says, something along the lines of, "Please insert media disk and press a key to continue". Nothing happens when I press a key. I cannot go back to the BIOS settings because it no longer waits in the Gigabyte logo page. Only half of the logo is shown for a half second. Repeatedly pressing Delete will not bring me to the settings to change it back. This is probably due to the fast boot. What do I do? I now know to not mess with BIOS settings if I do not 100% know what I am doing. I have learned my lesson. I should not have done it. What can I do to fix it? How do I go to the BIOS settings? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you,
 
Solution
Unplug motherboard, remove battery, let it sit for a while. Put battery back in, plug in go into bios. (There may be a default button on that board, check your manual)
