Hiya.. built my first rig in about 13 years a couple weeks ago and have been enjoying it.. until today. High temperature issues struck.. which led me trying to get into my BIOS, to see if there was something I could do about my Corsair H60 cooler...
I have accessed my BIOS before, to set my DDR3 speed, without issue. But.. no luck now.
Running Windows 8.1 and whatever the most recent BIOS are for the H97M-ITX/ac.
Have attempted a couple things.. the path of "Change PC Settings->Update and Recovery->Advanced Setup" and tweaking UEFI options on restart - well, the option isn't there. Both holding F2/DEL during boot or running "ASRock's Restart to UEFI" result in no HDMI video output at all from either the H97M-ITX or my EVGA GTX 750 Ti card, forcing me hard reset.
Could swear I read somewhere that installing Windows 8.1 a certain way ensured you could NOT enter UEFI mode.. but I don't see how that would stop me from entering my MB using ASRock's own software.
Is this a display issue, perhaps? Should I attempt a DVI or VGA connection? I'm totally lost at the moment and want to avoid having to do a clean install if I can. ;-/
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
