Cannot enter Bios - cannot detect keyboard and mouse

[ItsmeagainhK]

Hi all, just saw that with ssd, you can boot up in around 10seconds. I timed my boot up and it takes about 25 sec. so I decided to google for ways to shorten this process. Am using a Z270 hd3p gigabyte mobo. I played around with boot options in windows and ticked “no GUI” and restarted the comp.

Also played around with the fast boot and selected ultra fast. I then reloaded that my boot Drive was my d drive which is weird because it should be c drive. I wanted to change it but was no given an option. I exited the bios and now it is telling me to select the boot up drive or insert a removable boot up drive and click any key to continue. Problem is that now my keyboard and mouse cannot be detected and I cannot go into bios.

Any help appreciated!

Reset cmos by removing battery then putting it back or set bios jumper setting on the motherboard to reset bios to default setting. Seems like its trying to boot from your D drive without any OS in it instead of the C drive with the OS inside.

Your MB has dual BIOS. You can switch to your backup BIOS, please see manual for how to do this.

Managed to reset the cmos. The keyboard and mouse is working back again. Am now trying to change my boot option priorities. I assume that would be th option if I want the bios to look into whichever drive that I have the os installed ?

The options only allows to to use P2: my d drive and a disabled option. I cannot see my ssd. Should I physically switch my hdd and ssd connection?

Your OS SSD should be in the first sata port of the motherboard. Check the manual on which is the first sata port. Try disconnect the HDD to try your desktop.

Sata 3 there is a port 0/1/2/3/4/5/6. Do you mean os ssd should be into port 1 or port 0?

Check against your motherboard for the port label

Done. Switch the ports and managed to assign the SSD to boot up drive on port 1. From pressing the on button to reaching the desktop, it takes 29 seconds. Is it normal or abit too long for SSD ? ALways thought it should take like 10 seconds to boot up with ssd ...

Only had mbm and msi afterburner startup when pc is on.

You should connect port 0. Some BIOS always default to port 0 to boot whenever BIOS is cleared. If you connect HDD to port 0, then will boot from HDD.

Just did. Ssd in port 0, hdd on port 2 mainly because it’s the easiest to access since to put into port 1, will need to unscrew and remove gpu. I tried on port 0 for ssd and removed the hdd initially to see if there was any difference.

Do you reckon 30 sec boot up as normal ?

If anything I think you are trying to be too perfectionist and paranoid with the SSD. An SSD is fast but isn't instant. I think 30 seconds is fine. Technology has progressed a lot since the era of 4200rpm HDDs.


Compare to me for example - I am using a 5400rpm Seagate Firecuda SSHD. Originally when I got it it took 10 minutes to fully load everything up to the desktop. After several weeks of the firmware "learning" this was halved to 5 minutes.


Hopefully by any measure this will be of some comfort that your SSD boot environment is faster than us SSHD/HDD users.

SSD boot time on laptop and desktop is a world apart. Most laptops with SSD boot in 15 sec or less whereas desktop may take 30 sec or longer depending on BIOS.

think mine may be even slower heheh
ur windows startup time is likely under 10s
u can check event viewer> appl & svc logs> ms> win> diagnostics-perf
see boot duration in ms
then minus 10,000 ms (10s idle time) is ur windows startup time

for bios/POST time, check win task mgr, startup tab
is prolly longer like my z170 board, esp cold boot, but not so related to ssd...
