Hello, can you help me? There is a problem with the BIOS on my motherboard. Sometimes the computer opens in the BIOS instead of Windows. Sometimes the BIOS does not open and just stays on a black screen. What should I do?

Since you told us absolutely nothing about this computer, you can start by filling out your TPU System Specs so we have some idea what we are looking at.

This problem is often caused by the system losing connection with the boot drive. So you can start by unplugging from the wall, touch bare metal of the case interior to discharge any static in your body, then make sure all data and power cables are securely and firmly attached. While inside the case, make sure the case interior is clean of heat-trapping dust.

Swap your cmos battery, do a cmos reset and then set system defaults, change keyboards
