I am not able to enter BIOS. I had issue with NI Maschine Controller where when it connected, Windows were not able to load and would go in to restart loop. So I settled with disconnecting Maschine controller and only connect it after Windows fully loaded. Been working with NI tech support with no resolution.
Well- when Windows not able to load and goes in to loop, then it attempts to self-fix itself. When this happens- I abort this process to avoid it uninstalling stuff and reverting to "Best Known Configurations". While dealing with all this trouble, I was able to enter BIOS and disable legacy USB 3 support and such things.
The other day I did 2 things: I installed new Toshiba SSD and attempted to change slots of the memory (It was 1A1B and it supposed to be in 1B2B- minor thing- it was working fine in 1A1B, but I thought- I will try to move it). After that- the BIOS would not load. When pressing F2 it goes in to black screen for a second and then OS loads. Some time I can see the Black with white text screen that usually precede BIOS, but that disappears and OS loads.
I changed memory back to where it was- 1A1B. The Toshiba SSD was recognized with no problems, formatted and works fine. I was able to enter BIOS few times after that. It appears- it only loads once out of 5 attempts. I am trying to contact Asus but they would not reply. BIOS is pretty important program for hardware operations and I like it to work properly.
There is update to BIOS, but it is difficult risky process to do- BIOS Flashback may or may not work. It may flash few times and turn solid light as if it failed, and then all system may fail. Should I attempt top update? If my BIOS already corrupted, updating it may not be good idea. I do not know if it is new installer or if it based on old installation. Any thoughts?
