Gigabyte Fast boot problem help:S

hakank68 · 22 Dec 2013 at 23:48

hello, i have recently changed the fast boot option on my Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H mobo to ultra fast, now i have noticed that it doe not power on my keyboard and mouse just until windows is loaded up, therefore i cant get into the bios. Is there another way to get into to the Gigabyte bios through windows ?

Thanks in advanced

You will have to reset the CMOS to get back in.

The mouse and keyboard not working until windows with that option is normal behaviour.

thnk you, i have no idea how to do that so do i just turn my pc off and press a button on the mobo ?

EDIT: ive managed to do it, the cmos reset button was labelled cmos_sw, i also changed the ultra fast boot option so that usb devices were enabled, so they now work

Does the UD3H have the straight to BIOS button...? I can't find my manual to check myself atm.

you mean a button on the motherboard itself ?

that's what fastboot is,it cuts the usb ports to save time booting up till inside windows

pop out the mb/cmos battery for 30minutes is best method imo,but yeah the cmos button might do it(that's if it has it,not sure)

Do you not have a PS2 keyboard, or a PS2 to USB adaptor?

its plugged straight into USB

He probably meant Usb to ps2 adaptor,most gigabyte boards support ps2 mouse/kb

Due to this problem I never use that option tbh.

Just checked myself and it doesn't (I think the UD4H does though).

Might have to do a CMOS clear to get into BIOS.

If you have a PS2 keyboard or an adaptor - plug that in rather than USB, then perhaps can you get into the BIOS?

yeh, this was what i had to do to get in, Im surprised gigabyte didn't think of a way on entering bios after ultra fast boot was enabled

Have you tried a keyboard in the PS2 connector?
