Can’t Enter BIOS

[D3adSku11y]

I’m trying to overclock my computer, but for some reason my BIOS won’t come up. I recently bought the HP Pavilion Power Gaming Desktop 580-023w, and I’m trying to get more frames out of my computer. I have tried restarting and hitting the “delete key” multiple times, but nothing will show.

Do you have to have a MSI motherboard to use MSI Afterburner.

No.

[D3adSku11y]

Thank you for all the help.

What's your computer card?

From HP's support site:
Immediately press the Escape key repeatedly, about once every second, until the Startup Menu opens.

[D3adSku11y]

Ok I will try that.

Is the GTX 1060 locked like the processor, and what is the best way to enter the BIOS.

You don’t OC the gpu through the BIOS, use something such as MSI afterburner, and make sure it can properly cool itself and can actually provide the power for the OC.

Lol wtf?!?! Best OC is with the bios....of course with the bios of the graphiccard...

The GPU doesn't have a BIOS with GUI. A GPU needs to be overclocked with software.

lol, flash the BIOS.

If you flash it with a BIOS that makes it run unstable the card is dead.

My computer has a Nvidia GTX 1060 with a Intel I5-7400, and multiple ways to stay cool.

Well, the i5-7400 is locked, meaning, as far as i know, it can’t be OC’ed. And all computers have multiple ways of keeping cool, it depends on how well of a job they do at it.

It technically still can be overclocked via multiplier, but as OP's PC is an OEM and the procedure itself is very risky, it's not worth the effort. Plus, chances are the BIOS is locked. Also, not to mention that the PC in question will have a stock cooler rather than aftermarket.

I doubt he could as HP are known to lock their BIOS.

Never flashed a card before because I had no reason to.

As long as you don't touch the voltage (Which I recommend against for people who are new to OCing) you can not brick the card.
