Vic-20

Ok I've solved it. I read around that some people plug in HDMI and they solved their problem, personally I didn't think this would do much but I thought what the hell may as well try. low and behold the AW bios reappeared and I was able to change back the setting under F12 boot from secure boot off back to on. now it's all back to normal again. I appreciate your help though it gave me hope that I could solve it somehow otherwise I might not have tried this. thx

I have found this info picture a on this link. comes up in Dell search as Alienware 17 thx

I don't see the Alienware screen no, after removing my GPU which is a clevo 980M I now just get a black screen 8 beeps. I didn't download or install any files, the laptop was sold to me like this and was running for about a year no problems I had no idea it had this premamod bios on it. All I've done is change a boot setting to legacy and this happened. Im fairly resigned to the fact that my bios has just decided to die on me for no reason after changing a basic setting and this is where I am, up for a new mainboard really unless someone has any suggestions for me I willing to try anything. Thanks.

Hello recently I have attempted to boot my PC from USB device during this time I have gone to F12 boot options and attempted to do this at one stage I have selected a option to boot from legacy then the system rebooted. But now it seems I am stuck it keeps showing a new boot bios page when the system boots from premamod and then goes black screen and beeps 8 times over and over. I have attempted a bios reset I have removed the watch battery and main battery and held down power for 60secs but I still cannot get back to my normal bios in any way. Please, how can I get rid of this and go back to normal boot? Here's a pic of the boot screen. https://imgur.com/a/sptWN
