Enter BIOS on MSI B760M Mortar | Generated by AI
Question: How to enter BIOS on this computer with the MSI MAG B760M Mortar WiFi motherboard?
Answer:
To enter the BIOS/UEFI setup on your PC built with the MSI MAG B760M Mortar WiFi motherboard (an MSI B760 series board), follow these steps:
Primary Method (During Boot):
- Power off the computer completely (shut down, not just sleep or hibernate).
- Press the power button to turn it on.
- Immediately and repeatedly tap the Delete (Del) key as soon as the system starts powering on (even before any logo appears on screen).
- Keep tapping it quickly until the BIOS setup screen loads.
- This is the standard key for nearly all modern MSI motherboards, including the B760 series like your MAG B760M Mortar WiFi.
- If Del doesn’t work after a few tries, also try tapping F2 repeatedly during the same boot window (some MSI boards list both as possibilities, though Del is far more common for desktop boards).
Tips for success:
- Use a wired USB keyboard plugged directly into a rear motherboard USB port (avoid front-panel ports or wireless keyboards during first boot, as USB initialization can sometimes be delayed).
- If Fast Boot or Ultra Fast Boot is already enabled in BIOS (or if Windows Fast Startup is on), the boot process may be too quick to catch the key press — in that case, use the Windows method below first.
- Watch the screen carefully: many MSI boards briefly display “Press DEL to enter Setup” (or similar) during POST.
Alternative Method (From Windows, if the PC boots into the OS):
If you can’t catch the key during boot:
- Boot into Windows normally.
- Go to Settings → System → Recovery (or search for “Advanced startup”).
- Under Advanced startup, click Restart now.
- After restart, choose Troubleshoot → Advanced options → UEFI Firmware Settings → Restart.
- The system will reboot directly into the BIOS setup.
Once inside the BIOS:
- Navigate to the Power Management (or similar) section.
- Look for options like Wake-on-LAN, Wake on PCIe, PCIe Wake Up, Power On By PCI-E, or ErP Ready (disable ErP if needed, as it can block wake features).
- Enable the Wake-on-LAN related setting.
- Save changes (usually F10 → Yes) and exit.
This should work reliably for your specific MSI motherboard.
