Why is my Gigabyte uefi dual bios freezing up?

Asked by bomyne (639points) October 2nd, 2014

I just upgraded my dad’s DVD drive to a bluray drive. It was successful and the drive works. Linux Mint 16 can see the files on CDs, DVDs and Blurays. The system seems to be running perfectly until i wanted to boot a DVD. I restarted the system and hit F12 to bring up the boot menu. Menu came up just fine then it completely froze. Restarted and hit F2 this time. System setup screen came up then completely froze. I have tried both of these options several times with the same results.

The bios is a Gigabyte UEFI Dual Bios. It was working before the bluray, but i’m hoping there is a way to fix it without removing the new drive. Thanks.

I have tried the Q-Flash option too. It freezes too, which means i can’t update the firmware.
