Hello to everyone who comes here to help, first of all I would like to thank you for the future answers in the topic.
– The problem –
I use a dell inspiron desktop 2013 recently left windows and went back to arch and the chosen of the time was the EOS, everything was going very well until I noticed that the screen that should appear at system startup in which I could choose to access the bios no longer appeared and nor responded to my commands.
Since then I have not been able to install another system as I cannot access the bios. Yes I have already pressed the keys that should do the job but it does not work. The system works normally but the bios does not respond and the grub screen does not appear either.
I know that the problem has no connection with the EOS but I have been helped before with several topics present on the forum and I know that you can help me once again.
I’m sorry for any problems related to possible grammatical errors, I don’t speak or write English fluently.

For now, as the computer is working and I need it frequently, I will not open it to do the procedure mentioned in the links above.
Thanks to everyone who got involved and tried to help.
I apologize for not giving feedback, I made the suggested changes in /etc/default/grub and ran the command systemctl reboot --firmware-setup but unfortunately they did not have the expected effect, the screen went black during the boot as if it was working but there was no video.
The screen turns on only when the EOS boot process starts.
