Hello!
I was recently enjoying some Fallout 4 on my PC when I noticed some performance issues (audio lag, textures not showing properly) so I decided to restart my computer, seeing as how it had been on non stop for almost a full day. When I tried to boot it back up, it kept getting stuck on the BIOS startup screen, with the American Megatrends logo up on top and some of my PC specs listed. I could not go past this screen or access any kind of boot menu. Any help would be much appreciated!

Specs:
PC Model: Acer Predator G5900
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 870 @ 2.93GHz, 2934 MHz, 4 cores, 8 processors
20 GB physical RAM installed
OS: Windows 10 Home
Video adapter: Radeon R9 390
 
Solution
Try reseting bios as per your motherboard manual.

If that does not work, let usknow if the Bios at least sees your hard drive or any drive on SATA ports for that matter.

Since I couldn't operate the BIOS I removed the CMOS battery for a few minutes. When I put it back in and power my computer on it allowed me to reset the date and time of my PC which in turn fixed my problem! Thank you very much! Glad my motherboard isn't fried!!
