| 1365325 | 2014-01-16 21:10:00 | I got home yesterday and the computer was showing the splash screen for the motherboard (where you can choose boot menu etc) It is a Wednesday so I am thinking patch Tuesday and it didn't reboot properly, no big deal. I fully restarted the machine and it stuck on the same splash screen. I did this twice more and got the same result. Right now the computer is packed and ready to move to the new house so I can't do anything more with it for a few days. However could I get some insight as to what the issue might be please? |

| 1365327 | 2014-01-16 22:41:00 | If that splash screen didnt come up before (if it's an ASUS), some BIOS updates can be buggy and can corrupt themselves.And when this happens the BIOS settings get set back to their defaults. You have to reconfigure the settings / then save settings Disable the splash screen in the BIOS. Then see what it's saying or trying to find / detect |

| 1365328 | 2014-01-17 00:57:00 | Speedy is correct. The splash screen usually just hides / obscures the "power-on self test" / "POST" screen. Try tapping the "Esc" key frequently, right after you press the power button. If you don't see a POST menu, repeat but this time with the "F2" key |

| 1365329 | 2014-01-18 11:14:00 | Post screen did not come up with either ESC or F2. I tred all key presses also to no avail. What else can I try? |

| 1365330 | 2014-01-18 19:31:00 | The del key. Hold it down after you reboot. If you mean to get into the BIOS. Disable the splash screen first | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1365331 | 2014-01-18 21:02:00 | How do I disable the splash screen before getting into the Bios? | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1365332 | 2014-01-18 21:06:00 | You can't. You have to go into the BIOS settings to disable it. Most BIOS'es have the option under one of the menus in the BIOS. You have to go into the BIOS settings to disable the splash screen. On this it's called full screen logo in the BIOS |

| 1365333 | 2014-01-18 21:22:00 | Tab is also sometimes used to skip full screen logo. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1365334 | 2014-01-18 22:13:00 | Thank you guys! Once again you come through for me. Looks like a failed Windows update, all fixed now. |
