Cannot enter BIOS

My motherboard is an Asus Crosshair V Formula
I can't enter my BIOS for some reason. When the Asus ROG screen appears, I press DELETE and then the next screen is blank. It stays like that.
I have no problems loading Windows, but accessing BIOS is a problem.
I have tried changing the CMOS battery, resetting the jumper, pressing the BIOS reset button on the motherboard, but nothing helped.
Hopefully will find a solution to this problem.

Try F2.

Have you ever updated the bios? If not, you can try and flash in windows.

DL latest bios and select bios tools for installer. If you have a stable running PC while in windows, flashing should be no problem.

Good Luck!

What does that mean? Install the bios again?

Flash back is to put earlier bios back on.

I'm using an fx 8350. The earlier bios doesn't support the processor. Only the new bios does. So if I flash the earlier bios, then the windows won't load at all.
BTW, I need to enter my bios so that I can change my ram frequency. I have 16gb 186mhz ram, but it's only showing as 1333mhz. So is there any way to make it 1866mhz without entering the bios?

The board defaults 1333, you need to enter higher speeds in bios.

However with AMD OverDrive, you can adjust the timings and drive strengths but not the speed.

The board support your fx-8350 from bios 0806 and newer, thats 3 or 4 bios revisions back. Id try the 1403 first. That is the one that started supporting the FX-9xxx series.

I think you are looking at the wrong board. My board is not the Formula Z, its only formula. BIOS 0806 and 1403 doesn't exist for my board

Oh snap, my mistake!!

You can still try and re-flash the board with the same bios though. Worth a shot IMO.
