To fix a corrupted BIOS, you can try performing a BIOS recovery. Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Restart the computer: Begin by restarting your computer. This will ensure that you have a fresh start before attempting any fixes.
2. Access the BIOS Recovery page: As the computer restarts, press and hold the Ctrl + Esc keys on your keyboard. Keep holding them until the BIOS Recovery page appears. This key combination may vary depending on your computer manufacturer, so you can also try Ctrl + Alt + Esc or Ctrl + F10.
3. Reset NVRAM (if available): On the BIOS Recovery screen, look for an option to reset NVRAM (non-volatile random-access memory). This option may be available under a different name, such as “Clear CMOS” or “Reset BIOS settings.” Select this option and press the Enter key. Resetting NVRAM can sometimes resolve BIOS corruption issues.
4. Select Recover BIOS: After resetting NVRAM, look for an option to recover or restore the BIOS. This option might be labeled as “Recover BIOS,” “Flash BIOS,” or something similar. Select this option and press the Enter key to start the recovery process.
5. Follow on-screen instructions: Depending on your computer manufacturer and BIOS version, the recovery process may vary. However, most systems will guide you through the recovery process with on-screen instructions. Follow these instructions carefully and complete the recovery process.
6. Wait for the process to finish: The BIOS recovery process can take several minutes to complete. During this time, it’s crucial not to interrupt the process or turn off your computer. Let the recovery process run its course until it finishes.
7. Restart the computer: Once the BIOS recovery process is complete, your computer will prompt you to restart. Go ahead and restart your computer to see if the BIOS corruption issue has been resolved.
It’s worth noting that BIOS recovery methods may differ between computer manufacturers and models. If the above steps don’t work for your specific system, I recommend consulting your computer’s user manual or contacting the manufacturer’s support for further assistance.
In some cases, if the BIOS corruption is severe or the recovery process fails, you may need to replace the motherboard or seek professional help to fix the issue.
