Well, let me tell ya, this “fast boot” thing can really make ya pull your hair out sometimes, especially when yer stuck at the BIOS screen and don’t know what to do. I been there, done that. Ya turn on yer PC, and all of a sudden, it just boots straight into that BIOS, and you ain’t got a clue why. Well, don’t worry, I’m gonna help ya out here and tell ya what I know, step by step, so ya can get that machine of yours up and running in no time.
Now, the first thing ya need to understand is what this “fast boot” thing is all about. It’s supposed to make yer computer start up quicker by skipping some of the usual checks that happen when ya turn the thing on. But sometimes, it can mess things up, especially if yer computer ain’t playin’ nice with the settings. Fast boot can cause problems like gettin’ stuck in BIOS or not bein’ able to boot from a USB stick. I’ve heard folks sayin’ they can’t even get to their desktop after this thing kicks in, and that sure don’t sound good.
So, what can ya do about it? Well, first thing’s first, you need to get back into that BIOS setup. If yer PC keeps bootin’ straight into BIOS every time, ya might wanna try turning off the fast boot feature. Sometimes, fast boot will make it so ya can’t even get to the boot menu or change any settings, and that’s when things get tricky.
Step 1: Get Into the BIOS
Now, most folks know how to get into BIOS—ya just press the right key when yer computer starts up. On most MSI motherboards, it’s the DEL key or sometimes F2. If you can’t get into BIOS, try pressing the key over and over when you turn on the PC. If it keeps booting into BIOS, then you’re already there! But, if not, you might need to do it manually, by restarting the PC and pressing that key right away.
Step 2: Find Fast Boot in the BIOS Settings
Once yer in the BIOS, look for the “Fast Boot” option. Now, in some cases, it might not show up right away, so you’ll have to dig around a bit. You might find it under the “Boot” tab or in a section called “Advanced Settings.” If you do find it, go ahead and turn it off.
Fast Boot is usually under a setting that says “Boot Mode” or something similar. If it’s on, turn it off and save the settings. Now, this should give ya a little more freedom to change boot orders and other settings that might’ve been locked because of that feature.
Step 3: Changing the Boot Order
If yer trying to boot from a USB or change boot priorities, you’ll need to mess with the boot order in the BIOS. Now, don’t go changing too many things all at once unless you know what you’re doin’. If yer looking to boot from a USB, go to the boot menu and make sure that USB is set as the first boot device. That way, the computer will try to boot from the USB before it goes anywhere else. Once yer done, save the changes and exit BIOS. It should boot from the USB now if that’s what you wanted.
Step 4: Updating BIOS (If Needed)
Sometimes, if things are still not workin’ right, ya might need to update yer BIOS. You can get the latest BIOS from MSI’s official website, just search for your motherboard model and follow the instructions. Make sure you’re updating to the correct version, though. Updating BIOS can sometimes fix problems related to fast boot or other boot issues. But, be careful, and don’t mess with it too much unless ya know what yer doin’!
Step 5: Check Secure Boot
Another thing to check is the “Secure Boot” setting in BIOS. Secure Boot is there to make sure that only trusted software is run during startup. Sometimes, if it’s enabled, it can interfere with bootin’ from other devices like USB drives. So, if you’re tryin’ to boot from something that ain’t yer regular hard drive, you might need to disable Secure Boot in the BIOS settings. That’s a simple fix, just like turning off fast boot.
Step 6: Dealing With Dual Boot Systems
If yer like me, and you got more than one operating system on yer PC, you might be dealing with a dual boot situation. MSI Click BIOS 5 can be a little tricky with these. When you’re setting it up, make sure yer primary boot device is the one you want to boot from most often. If yer havin’ trouble, ya might need to manually choose the operating system each time yer computer starts up. This can be a bit of a hassle, but it works if ya gotta do it.
Final Thoughts
So, there ya have it! Turning off fast boot, messing with your boot priorities, and updating BIOS if needed can solve a lot of problems. Don’t let that BIOS screen keep you stuck forever—just take it step by step, and soon enough, you’ll have everything back to normal. And if all else fails, sometimes it helps to get a little help from the folks on the internet—there’s always someone out there who’s had the same problem and can help ya fix it.
Hope this helps ya out, and good luck gettin’ that computer of yours workin’ the way it should!
