I'm having a really tough time accessing the BIOS on my computer. I've tried a bunch of methods, like holding Shift while clicking the restart button from the start menu, using different monitors and a TV, and even trying to switch from the GPU HDMI port to the motherboard's HDMI port. I've also attempted the classic method of pressing or holding DEL or F2 during startup, but nothing seems to work. I've turned off fast boot, but the BIOS screen still doesn't show up, and my computer just skips past it. I'm at a loss—any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Make sure you're pressing the DEL key as soon as the screen lights up. If you're using a 60% keyboard, try holding the FN key while you hit DEL. It might help!
Have you tried using F10, F11, or F12? Depending on your motherboard, those keys can work for accessing BIOS too. Just hold or tap them as the computer starts up.
Sometimes, motherboards have an option for quick boot that skips the BIOS access. Look for a physical button on your motherboard that could force a reboot into the BIOS.
What motherboard do you have? Some models have unique methods for accessing BIOS. If it's an MSI like you mentioned, clearing the CMOS might be the way to go, but keep trying with those keys too.
