    • Acer Nitro 5 515-44 can't boot to BIOS

    Hello Everyone!!!

    I've just installed Pop OS (Dual boot with Windows) on my Acer Nitro 5 515-44 and after installation I've found a problem:

    • When I'm turning on my laptop and pressing F2 key to get to BIOS, shows the logo and after that just get stuck on black screen (Sometimes get stuck on Acer logo).

    P.S Acer boots to Windows and Pop OS perfectly fine, I can access F12 boot menu too, but I can't access BIOS.

    Thanks for help!!!

       try this. go to Settings .>>> Update & Security. >>>Under the Recovery window, click Restart now. >>> Click Troubleshoot >>> Advanced options >>> UEFI Firmware Settings. >>> Click Restart and your PC can go to BIOS.

      Boot to Linux, locate grubx64.efi and delete it as root(should be in  /boot/efi/EFI/ and so on. After reboot you will be able to access the BIOS, but you will need to rebuild the grub boot-loader with Linux installation media.

      It changed something, it booted through Acer logo, but after that gets stuck on black screen.
