Hi,
I just built a new Mini-ITX system around the MSI Z77IA-E53 and a i5-3570K.
The problem is, I have not yet been able to go into the BIOS settings.
First of all, it would reboot every time i tried to enter setup from boot or tried to bring up the boot menu.
After double checking that everything was connected correctly, I changed the SATA port that the disk (Corsair M4 256GB) was on and the USB port on the rear of the board rather than the front panel of the case.
After this, it still would not enter the BIOS screen but I was able to install Windows 8 from a USB key.
Once installed I ran the MSI Live update to install latest BIOS/Drivers/Utils which completed but when I try and run the Click Bios II application (I think this is for changing BIOS settings from within Windows), it crashes with an error.
Now when I try and enter the BIOS at boot, it hangs with the code A2 in the corner.
I have cleared CMOS lots of times and this brings up the message that the settings have been cleared and to press F1 to enter settings, but the same thing happens and it just hangs.
I am in the strange situation that I can boot into Windows and it operates fine but I can't seem to access the BIOS at all.
The core temps are fine (23c-29c idle with a Corsair H100 attached) and I don't have a discrete GPU added yet.
I realise that I am short on detail but I didn't finish the install to until late last night and I am at work and don't have any more specific information to hand.
I would be grateful if anyone could throw some light on this as it has me baffled.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Regards
