F12 bios fix

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-b1s-mac-mini-killer-with-macos-mojave-i7-8700-gigabyte-z370n-rx560-16gb-ram.260337/page-51#post-1934546

  1. Make a boot USB flash drive with your current EFI folder.

  2. Download bootx64.efi and copy it to EFI/Boot/. This is some kind of alternative bootloader that starts with the command line. Here we will modify hidden BIOS settings.

  3. Update BIOS to F12 (only F12!)

  4. Reboot and hold F12 to boot from your USB Flash drive. Now you should see this command line.

  5. Now enter Code: setup_var 0x5A4 0x0 Code: setup_var 0x507 0x1

NOTE: maybe this may be better solution (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/fix-for-boot-hangs-after-bios-update-acpi-patch.275091/)
