Asking this for my friend, he has a i7 3770k, and a P8 mainboard most probably. He has a GTX 460 GPU. He can't enter in OS, stuck at boot screen. The problem is he can't enter BIOS by entering Del or F2, also if he presses F1 to run setup he only gets a blue screen? Look at the last three lines in the attached photo, it seems like Asus Surge Protection is taking effect, so how will he enter BIOS and disable it?

which psu he have ?

It is Common issue with Asus antisurge protection, Go to bios - disable it

It is safe if you have good branded psu

Try F1

Please read carefully what I said. He can NOT enter BIOS. He has a Corsair CX600 or something, an entry level PSU.

Comeon anyone plz help me. I m stuck in a big problem. I have got P8q77m asus motherboard.And I am the friend.What to do right now?

are you running your pc with ups or not?

With UPS.

With UPS.

which ups? try without ups.

APC 600 I guess.

tried without a ups? does he have any earthing problem?

Asked him, don't know if the issue persists or not. Hasn't contacted me back.

I can only suggest to clear the BIOS by removing the CMOS battery for 10-15 seconds.

For me, using different sata wire worked
