If you are like me who have MSI motherboard and if you are wondering why you are not able to enter into bios settings. There are a few methods that you can try to enter into BIOS by pressing the appropriate key or key combination. Majority of MSI motherboard BIOS can be accessed by pressing the delete button when the computer boots up.

The major cause of this error is that your computer will not recognize any USB devices such as the keyboard you are using so it will not take the command when you press the delete button. This is also an approach to eliminate USB devices and make your operating system boot quickly. And in MSI motherboard BIOS there is a setting which you can to use to enable or disable USB device is recognized during boot up. So in that case, if your motherboard is set to fast boot then try these approaches.

People choose gaming motherboard simply because they support unlocked processors such as Intel K variants. These motherboards are capable to tune voltage and other aspects that directly can affect the gaming performance. I bought the MSI 370 Mortar since it supports overclocking thus makes boosting performance whenever I want. It got 9th generation support with firmware support, as 9th generation Intel CPU also use 1151 socket type.

Solution 1. USE a PS/2 keyboard

Look into your storage room and maybe you will find an old PS2 keyboard lying around. plug it to your computer and try entering the BIOS. This actually works as it is not connected to a USB port, allowing boot into BIOS in MSI motherboards.

Solution 2. Use MSI fastboot with GO2BIOS

MSI fastboot is a feature to skip USB devices during boot to speed up booting time. If you’re using this option then you won’t be able to use your keyboard to access BIOS because your computer simply won’t recognize the keyboard at during boot time.

MSI fast boot off/ Able to access BIOS = computer recognize USB devices (keyboard, Mouse)

MSI fast boot on/ unable to access BIOS = computer don’t recognize USB devices (keyboard, Mouse)

You may want to boot your computer faster and at the same time, you want to access BIOS (to change settings). It helps when you don’t want to plug a PS2 keyboard each time to access BIOS along with MSI fastboot.

What you can do is to go into MSI motherboard BIOS setting and there you will find an option “Go2BIOS” which allows you to access BIOS upon holding the power button for 4 seconds. That way you can access BIOS using the power button, this feature is really worth to enable.
