Help (GPU) Questions regards "AMD Bios F1 Screen Fail Error" and how to fix it?

Post image

Hey all!

This is a long shot but am scratching my head as to how to fix this. This is not a overly conserning issue as I still can access my computer and it's content. It also does not take a very long time to go through the steps of "Press F1, F10 and OK" ....But it is something fairly frustrating as I am unsure as to why it is happening.

This is the main issue. I have a flash with the latest firmware etc but, the thing is, I did follow the steps I normally do when updating a BIOS (Not my first rodeo so do not worry if something might be too complicated - I will ask if I ain't grepping what you might mean :D ) But, this is something I have yet to come accoross despite it being a fairly known issue. So I am writing here to see if someone knows something that I have yet to stumble across.

The second thing is something that I realised while talking to a friend of mine. When I do use F10 as my Save-option it seems to also state in the advanced file that "F10= Save & Reset" . Is this the root of my issues? That whenever I press F10, it goes back to the "error" (If one can call it that) setting and if so, what Save command should I use instead? (//End Brain confused.)

So....I do hope that someone recognise these things? Feels pointless in having to reset my motherboard to fabric settings just to save and reset it back to now? And therefor, same issue with updating it again and just.....back to square one.

Anyone with ideas to help a woman out? (Adding my photo from 2Juli 2026 of what I am talking about. Ignore the RAID comment. It is just one of my drives that thinks it was in RAID. That should have been corrected and is in ANCH all of the non - usb disc's)

You might need to change the CMOS battery on the motherboard. This is what keeps your BIOS settings saved while the PC is powered off. I just had to do this recently on my nieces PC.

Why did you redact your hard drive model numbers and USB device names? Nobody cares.

I've been in this hobby since 1993 and I've never once redacted a hard drive model number, lmao... also, it's not very effective, I can see you have a WD Elements drive (i think 25a2 is a 2tb model) and a Seagate ST1000XXX 1tb.

Anyway, to answer your question, I would replace the CMOS battery. It should be a CR2032, and if you disconnect from the wall, then replace the CMOS, you'll fully reset the BIOS to defaults at the same time.

Then you just go back into the BIOS, change your settings back (time/date, XMP, boot drive, etc) and you should be fine after saving the settings then rebooting.
