Can't enter BIOS

[gnulinux]

Bought a motherboard Ga-h61m-s2pv (GigaByte) bundle. Connected it up. OS (Ubuntu) fired up but no onboard LAN. Tried to enter BIOS - not possible. Cleared CMOS etc. Nothing. Will not start up now - just blue screen. Mobo is DualBios UEFI. Any thoughts?

Find manual. Look up page in manual about entering BIOS. Perform as written in manual. Done

[gnulinux]

Done that. Doesn't work.

Talk to your supplier?

UEFI boards are not as accessible as older mobos.

To access the bios, press delete key repatedly during boot up

In previous years, and therefore for much older hardware, I've had 2 different manufacturer mobos which, if you changed a CPU or cleared the CMOS required a special action to get them operational on bootup. In these cases the action was the same - you needed to hold down the INS key, and then you would get to a special BIOS screen to allow setting parameters and boot up.

It took quite a while, and a chance posting somewhere before I even found the info about this procedure, even though it was in the manual (but, possibly, not as clearly as it might have been).

I mention this, as both cases the mobo wouldn't enter BIOS and seemed quite dead until I did it!
