I recently upgraded my motherboard and installed an i5 7600K and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. I'm using the same old hard drive as I was before. After installing my new parts, I turned on the machine, inserted the driver disc, and Windows 10 started on its own without me having to reinstall anything. The machine works great, Windows boots fine, I've played a few games, everything's great.

Only thing is, every time I boot my computer, when it says "Hit DEL to enter Bios setup," I'll hit DEL and I'll simply get a black screen saying "Reboot and select proper boot device." I haven't actually been able to access the bios at all yet. Could it be a problem with my harddrive? Do I simply need to update the bios from the MSI website?

I should also note that the clock on my computer is just like, completely wrong, despite having set the time zone manually in the Windows settings. Not sure if that has anything to do with the bios or not.

Well, some developments... turns out there's a section of the installation disc called utilities that contains the bios. I installed everything in utilities, but now whenever I boot my computer, it seems to conflict with something as I repeatedly get a blue screen that says "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart." My computer is now stuck in a continual loop that looks like this. At this point it seems like I might just have to reinstall Windows 10 all together.
