Question Gigabyte H81M-D3H Bios issue

[PTittytty]

Hello comrads,

I was wondering if you could help me. I played with some settings in BIOS and Windows and the BIOS screen doesn't show when i boot up. It boots straight to Windows(10) 19045.3324.
Searched a bit online and all i could find is disabling Fast Boot (after you enable hibernation). Any ideas?

Thanks,
Pete

Could you have Fast Boot enabled in the BIOS?

If you hold down shift then select restart I'm Windows, you can bring up the recovery menu. If I recall, then you choose troubleshooting, the option that lets you see additional stuff besides resetting, and then choose the EFI/BIOS one. It should then reboot into your BIOS.

You can access the UEFI BIOS from Windows Recovery Environment.

What model is the computer?

I will try this from debug menu and keep you posted

Hello guys, tried the shift restart thing. Now i get a fully black screen, cpu fans revved up to max and no response. Maybe some corrupt registry? Any other ideas?
I remember the last thing i tweaked in bios was setting igfx as default when booting could this be the issue?
Cheers,
Pete

So fresh reboot gets you nothing?

Here is another way to get into the BIOS if you are in Windows 10: https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/access-bios-windows-10 (now that I think about it, the shift trick might be more for Windows 11)

If you can't boot into Windows at all right now, consider resetting your BIOS: either find the jumper for clearing the CMOS and bridge the connection for a few seconds, or pull the CMOS battery 30 seconds and then put it back in. [Unplug the computer and press the power button a few times before you do this]

Hold in power button for 5 full seconds or until all lights go out. Let go, wait a few seconds, push once.

If you get it running again into Windows you can restart straight into UEFI BIOS from using this command line (run as Administrator command prompt):

shutdown /r /fw /t 0

Then press Enter/Return. This will IMMEDIATELY restart the PC so don't hit enter until you are ready for the restart.

Yup, did this, same black screen fans full rev thing.

What if supposedly i set the default booting graphics card as the built-in one and set the graphics allocation memory to off? Hahahaha

Ive reset the bios by unplugging and replugging cmos battery and now works. Thank you all for the support!

Well it's a good thing you couldn't get it to boot and try my tip, because it doesn't seem to work on my Haswell gen PC. Maybe the last / flag is for powershell instead of command prompt, or newer generation hardware. This one worked but have to restart yourself:

shutdown /r /fw
