cannot enter BIOS on DQ77MF motherboard

[TJASH]

I was going to update my BIOS on my DQ77MF motherboard and make a few adjustments to the fan speed. I tried F2 while booting, but t just boots normal. I inserted a usb thumb drive and tried F7 but still boots normal. i took CMOS battery out for 15 min. but did not help. I tried different keyboard but did not help. I disabled fast boot in settings but still no BIOS. Please help me, this computer is like new. Thank you.

How did you disable fast boot if you cannot get into the bios.

Also, what bios version do you have?

Hello Terry,

Greetings for the day!

Based on your query about the system not being able to boot into BIOS, could you please confirm the full system model and board model to proceed further?

Looking forward to your response in this case.

Thank you for choosing Intel products and services.

First of all, I don't remember there ever being an Intel Desktop Board product named DQ77MF. There was a DQ77MK, but not DQ77MF.

Power the system off and then back on. Immediately begin hitting the desired function key (F2 for BIOS Setup, F7 for BIOS Update or F10 for manual boot device selection), over and over (about once per second), until you see the desired function screen appear. If you wait for the BIOS Splash screen to appear before hitting a function key, you may be too late and the function key press missed.

As well, depending upon the age of the BIOS version that you are currently using, it may be dangerous to use the F7 update method to update to the latest version (you may need to use the BIOS Recovery process instead). The current BIOS version is 74 (MKQ7710H.86A.0074.2018.1025.1720). What version do you have?
