If you know your computer is using an MSI motherboard, the key that triggers the BIOS is most likely the Delete key. Legacy hardware may require the Ctrl + Alt + F3 or Ctrl + Alt + INSERT key or Fn + F1 key combination. Fix for blacked-out screen.The F1 or F2 key should get you into the BIOS.

Question Hi, I wanna upgrade my gpu, but I don't know if a EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 12GB will fit and or work with my PC. Also not sure if how I updated bios is the same way they updated it. Looks like the mobo does support UEFI - Someone has also has had a similar problem with the same GPU/MOBO before but haven't said whether this fixed it.
Tried updating the bios to version F7a under the support tab, then scroll down and open the Bios roll out on this page, PC boot up changed appearance and PC works fine with old GPU, but new GPU still doesn't work. I tried the GPU in a friend's PC and it worked absolutely fine and as expected. Seriously not sure what do with this one, any advice would be very much appreciated. Not sure if it's worth noting the American Megatrends screen no longer displays on boot, I'm not sure at which point in the above process this happened, I think after CMOS reset / windows install. PC still works fine as far as I can tell.
I tried switching to onboard graphics, uninstalled nvidea experience & the old GPU drivers, then installing the new GPU drivers, plugging in new GPU and booting, again no change and once I put the old GPU in again the 1050 drivers were gone and the old 460 drivers were back. Next thing I tried, under a miscellaneous section there was an option for 'Auto / Gen 1 / Gen 2 / Gen 3' which was set to Auto, I tried changing this to Gen 2 but again, no change (sorry not sure of the specifics this was something I read online I thought I'd try). Checked in bios and changed the display from 'Auto' to 'PEG', this made no difference with new GPU in, and once I switched back to the old GPU it had reverted to 'Auto' without me changing it. I stuck the old GPU back in and the PC works perfectly.
I got the GPU back yesterday and tried it in the PC again hopeful with the fresh windows install and wiped CMOS it would work, but it still won't get past the bios screen and the keyboard doesn't work to let me have a look around.
In the meantime, to try resolve the corrupted windows issue I upgraded to windows 10 via a 'refresh' install in order to keep my existing files. At this point I assumed the GPU has massively failed when trying to install drivers and was faulty so I sent it back to the retailer who tested it and let me know it was working fine for them, fans ran properly and they had been able to download and install drivers. At this point the PC would just loop between bios splash screen, windows recovery, windows failed to recover, and so on. When I then tried to get into windows 7, I get the windows recovery screen, which I went through, however Windows failed to resolve the issue. This resulted in no change, can't get into/past bios. Tried the new GPU again, no change, so I tried reseting CMOS by removing the battery and leaving it for a day. Looking at bios settings the boot order looked correct, legacy USBs were enabled, and display was set to auto (as opposed to PEG/IGFX). With the old GPU in the system I booted up again, I got to the bios splash screen without problem, and keyboard was working fine. At this point I tried the old GPU back in my PC. I noticed the 2 fans on the GPU start spinning when the PC is turned on but shortly after they both turn off, despite the gpu getting hot. I manually forced bios to load by powering on with reset button held, however, keyboard/mouse won't work. tried numerous times it wouldn't load past this screen. I plugged the new GPU to the motherboard and booted the PC up, it wouldn't get past the 'American Megatrends' screen and it appeared no components were being recognised as usually they are listed as they boot (I think that's whats happening anyway). Please excuse me if some of my terminology is off/strange as I'm fairly new to this territory. The system seems to be having a number of issues recognising the new card and I can't seem to find a reason why. It's in a pc I had custom built by .uk about 5 years ago and have recently started using again the last few months without issue. I am trying to upgrade my GPU from an EVGA GTX 460 to a new Gigabyte GTX 1050ti card. New GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti WindForce OC 4GB SoundCard: ASUS Xonar DGX 5.1 PCI E Sound I've copy pasted it from a reddit thread where the community couldn't find a solution. Hi, I'm currently at a loss and could do with a hand on this, apologies for the length of the post.
