I just got my computer yesterday - motherboard in title, Win10, i5-9400f, zotac gtx1660 - and I'm trying to get into the BIOS for a couple of reasons: I want to turn off the pulsing RGB on the motherboard that persists into sleep and shutdown because it will make getting to sleep slightly harder, and change the USB charge options when asleep / shutdown; but I can't get into BIOS. Windows and the computer seem to work just fine, it's just the BIOS I'm struggling with.
When I first turn on the computer, the first thing I see after about 15 seconds is the Windows user login. During this time, my screens - both of them, having tried on both - receive 'no signal' and my keyboard lights up, then goes off for a second, then lights up again, so it looks like it is doing the standard BIOS startup, but I can't see it.
I've also tried running my GPU HDMI into one monitor, and the motherboard HDMI into the other, and neither still show anything before windows. No PCspecialist splash, no BIOS, no prompt to configure BIOS.
I've tried going into windows settings and rebooting with advanced options for UEFI, but it only restarts as normal. I've tried rapidly pressing F2 after startup, all the way until Windows loads, nothing. The manual for the motherboard even says it's F2. I've tried Ctrl Alt Del - restart button - power button, same. I've tried cmd -> shutdown /s /t 0, then pressing F2, still nothing.
I would really, really like to get into the BIOS and turn this damn light off instead of having to cover the front air vent and side panel or shutdown and turn off at the back every single night. Any suggestions?
