BIOS "No keyboard detected" and beeps

My new PC (specs below) starts up, shows a "Liquid Series" screen and then beeps once. Then it beeps again slighly louder and shows an American Megatrends screen that says 'No Keyboard Detected'. It then pauses for a few seconds and continues to boot up. The whole process takes nearly a minute. Which seems a long time for a machine this fast.

Note: I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I have turned off "Wait for F1 if error" in the Boot Menu of the BIOS based on advice given in another forum post.

Is there anyway of removing the beeps and this American Megatrends screen. Ideally i'd love it to just boot straight to my Windows log in screen and as quickly as possible?

There's a setting in the BIOS called "Halt On Error" or something like that, just need to disable that.

If it were mine, and since it's brand new, I would check it with a wired keyboard to be sure it's all ok. Then you can troubleshoot the Bluetooth issue..

Are you referring to "Wait for F1 if error" ? If so, i've disabled that already.
No, that will pause until F1 is pressed if there's an error.
Halt on error places a timed pause before continuing if there's an error.

Bluetooth isn't active at a BIOS level, so it will error each as it won't register a keyboard, so you have to disable the pause.

I have used a wired keyboard to go into BIOS and try to fix it. The bluetooth isn't an issue the computer boots up fine and works very well. I am looking to remove the error screen and disable the beeps.

@SpyderTracks I will have a look into your solution of disabling "halt on error" - do you know if this will remove the American Megatrends screen?

That's just the post screen which is only showing because it's reporting the error, so yes.
