My friend sent me a video, he said when he got home and tried booting up his pc. it booted to bios and it started trying to change settings on it’s own.

He unplugged all his drives, turned off wifi, unplugged peripherals, pulled the cmos battery. Still does it without anything plugged in.

I told him I wasn’t sure maybe ransomware? Any idea’s, has anyone heard of anything like this?

    Ransomware? There’s nothing in a BIOS settings menu to encrypt, so that was a huge miss.

    Your friend should make his own post with his full system specs, a link to the video, and any other detail. Tech support via a 3rd party is like dentistry through a 3rd party - nothing but pain and frustration.
