This morning when I tried to turn on my computer, the monitor would not display anything. The computer is on, but no UI on the monitor and no beep.
I turned off the computer and turn it back on again. This time, the computer was on for about 2 seconds and automatically turned itself off for about 2 second and automatically turned itself back on. This happened two times without the monitor displaying any UI.
On the third try, the computer did the same thing but when it turned itself back on, the monitor displayed this:

Press F1 to Run Setup.
After I pressed F1, it went into the Asus EF1 Bios Utility. I couldn't do anything in there so I just exited.
After which, the computer auto turned off and on again and I was able to use the PC like regular.
This has never happened to this computer before and the day before, nothing seemed wrong, just regular use and some gaming.
