Bios Won't Load After Switching to UEFI

Guest · Nov 30, 2017

Hello, recently in order to let my hard drive run on Windows 10 I made the computer boot up in UEFI instead of legacy, but now when I turn on the computer the BIOS screen is zoomed in a bit and I can't access it (I've tried all the keys on my keyboard). I have a BIOSTAR Z270GT6. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

(On a side note, I'm doing a bit of research on overclocking and I'm wondering if my CPU cooler which is a Cooler Master Hyper Evo is good enough? I have a Mastercase 5. Thanks again.)

Turn the switch on the back of the power supply to the off ( 0 ) position. Remove the cmos battery from the motherboard for two minutes. Put the CMOS battery back, flip the switch back to the on position, turn the power on. The bios should be back to the default settings as it was when it either came from the factory or after the last bios version was installed.

Is there anything that I should watch out for like how I should put the battery back in? Because I tried to do this and the numbers on the motherboard switch a lot (from A2 to a6 every time I turn it on) and the fans seem to be going a bit faster than I remember.

Yes, that's normal until it goes though a complete boot cycle. The fans are probably going faster than before because you'll need to go into the bios and set the fan profiles back up to whatever you had them at before. Normally there are either Standard, Performance, Silent or Custom profiles available. I generally choose silent unless you tend to run warm, then choose standard. If you are familiar with setting up a custom profile, that's fine too.

Yes, the batter only goes in one way, with the side that has the smaller center contact section facing down. The side with the part number on it always has to face up away from the motherboard. You WILL need to go into the bios and find the setting to set everything to the optimal default or setup default settings, and then save, and go back in again and set up any custom settings that you may have had from before.

If you don't understand bios settings then perhaps you should involve somebody with experience at configuring bios settings.

I think I got it pretty well, though for some reason the computer seems a bit slower than it should be going

Like I said, there may be settings in the bios that need to be reset. Try to find a guide for your bios settings and configure accordingly. Was anything overclocked previously? Was the memory running at a faster speed before? Might need to set the memory XMP or AMP settings, as it could now be running at a lower default speed.

What are the full system specs?

I've tried looking for a guide before with little luck. I have a BIOSTAR Z270GT6 with an i7 7700k + a 1050 ti and G.Skill Ropjaws 4 series and a Mastercase 5.

Yeah, Biostar are not too popular these days. In the past they were popular with system builders like Gateway, Dell, Compaq, etc., because they offered fairly decent boards for decent prices, and are probably still ok for mainstream machines but I'd never consider one for a gaming or enthusiast build.

Here's a review of that board: https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/8046/biostar-z270gt6-motherboard-review/index.html

I'll take a look at the manual after while and see if there are any settings that stand out to me which I think you might want to look at making changes to. The manual should fairly well cover memory settings, but sometimes the explanations and descriptions in these manuals leave much to be desired.
