leroi Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Hello, I have the issue, that with my K70 (red, rapidfire) I am not able enter BIOS. It looks like to me, that the keyboard is activated only when Windows is already starting. I have the latest software 1.16.42 installed. Maybe you are able to help me. Thank you, leroi Windows 10, Intel system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 If you have fast boot enabled, double check your UEFI USB initialisation settings and make sure it is set to full initialisation or disable fast boot temporarily. You can access the UEFI via Windows recovery. If that did not help, Enable BIOS mode via the polling switch or F1+Windows lock key. (For keyboards that do not have the polling switch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leroi Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hi again, I am sorry, but I really don't know what exactly you mean with "UEFI USB initialisation settings". I could not find something like this in the UEFI. My board is a MSI Gaming Z5 Thanks again, leroi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I can't seem to find it in the manual for the Z97 Gaming 5 and Z170A Gaming 5. Have you tried disabling fast boot? Did it change anything? You will want to put in a support ticket with Corsair and see whether they can help. https://corsair.secure.force.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroi Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 OK, I deactivated MSI-Fastboot and left normal fastboot on. It now works. MSI-Fastboot obviously deactivates some USB-functionality. By turning it off, the system takes some more seconds for startup. This does not play a role. Thanks a lot for the good help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cplifj Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 the bios's or uefi has a fastboot option which should have a setting to detect keybord and mice only (connected to usb) and leave all other usb devices unseen while booting. That setting is probably off when you turn on the uefi fastboot. making it so your keybord and mice are not detected during boot time and you can't access the bios/uefi. Simplest solution is to just reset your bios or uefi to default settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
