    Hi, my question doesn't really have to do with Linux but I couldn't find the best group for posting it. Since I use Linux and since I previously got precious answers from here, I ask again.

    I have a strange issue with my BIOS. I recently bought a new computer and played a little with the BIOS; everything was fine. I could install an OS (fedora); now when I boot the computer, everything is fine: the OS starts and if I have some bootable USB stick, it starts as well.

    But... I can't access my BIOS any longer! When I turn the computer on, I have the initial splash screen; then I can hit "del" and I quickly see "Entering setup..."; I see sometimes the blue background of the setup screen for a very tiny time, then obviously the computer encounters some issue, restart, shows the initial splash screen again; and if I do nothing with "del", the OS comes as usual.

    I can't change my BIOS settings now but the computer works. Any hint?

    Regards,

    G.
