Have gotten into bios a couple times but can't get in at all
not even thru windows repair to UEFI settings access
Specs on my signature updated, newest bios
Is the 950 vid card to old?

Monitor has sleep off

Running on windowswith 950 vid card showing as being used with GPUZ

I would also like the instructions as I am facing the same issue with an AMD RX 470 on MSI MAG Tomahawk Z790 DDR5 WIFI on latest bios

Your old GPU used is causing this.
Latest BIOSes have specific security upgrades, that old GPUs can't comply.

Your options are:
* Upgrade your current GPU with more recent GPU Series.
* Flash back to older BIOS version which can works with this GPU
* Disable VT-D in BIOS Setup to keep using latest BIOS and older GPU

Thank you very much, disabling VT-d worked. I already have a newer nvidia card (RTX 4070 Super) for use with the system but I needed to use the RX 470 for something that specifically needed it. And rolling back wasn't an option because I have 14th gen Intel (i9 14900K) and I didn't want to go back to versions with degradation issues.
 
I too have the same issue, after latest bios update on my z790 tomahawk ddr5 shows white screen, hit delete key to enter bios after update and it is white screen. Can not change any settings as the screen is white. Gpu is a gtx 970.
I had to flash the bios to the previous beta version to be able to see the bios screen, which in turn has now deactivated my win 11.
Same issue here, can’t get into bios. At least it still boots into win 11, but I have some memory issues I need to troubleshoot from within the bios. I did the firmware update on the 970, drivers too, no change, still getting white screen of death.

I’m having the same issue with a Z890P WiFi. My GPU is a GeForce GTX 750. Cannot get anywhere but the white screen with some flickering numbers and what appears to be fans. Sometimes a countdown.
Any assist would be Greatly appreciated.
 
Yeah i have the same issue too with a 750 Ti, and i have no iGPU. Although i can also launch into my OS. Is it possible to flash back to a version that works using Ubuntu? I cant really enter BIOS at all with what i have here otherwise...
