can't access bios

[Seeking]

Turned off my computer with everything ok. Next time I turned it on The black screen with notation saying to hit F2 or Del to go into bios and then froze. From then on every time I boot the same thing happens. The screen freezes and it takes a minute to eventually boot from this screen into Windows 7 Pro without ever letting me go into the bios to get out of the problem. After it finally boots to the desktop it then takes about another minute for the mouse to unfreeze and start to work (mouse is wireless). I have not made any changes to my computer recently. It is really frustrating! The build is around 4 years old. Below are the specs on this machine. Windows did add one of their "important" updates the other day (KB4503548) which is Microsoft.net framework 4.8 for windows 7 for 64. It was listed as installing successfully but still lists it in my updates each time to be installed as if it weren't already installed - it is the same KB number of the one installed. I did change out the MOBO battery which didn't make any difference. Thanks in advance for any help someone might be able to offer.
