I’m not sure when or how, but one day when I plugged my monitor back into the graphics port my BIOS screen looked like this. Everything is fine when I boot into the OS. I read that updating the BIOS could fix this, but to no avail. Not sure what info would be relevant here but here are some basics: ROG Strix 760-I Gaming Wifi running Version 1825 BIOS Nvidia 4080 Kubuntu Odessey G9 Ultrawide

Do you have another monitor to test with?

Might be worth removing the graphics card and using integrated graphics to see if it does the same thing.

Could try resetting the BIOS by leaving the CMOS battery out?

Late to the party, had no solutions myself anyway, just wanted to say thank you OP for including the solution in the post.

That looks like VRAM corruption, though it’s unlikely that the only ram corruption occurs in the video ram and only when the BIOS settings are on, but maybe the issue lies in the graphics adapter in that specific video mode. Does this happen only when entering the BIOS settings? What about during POST (when the motherboard logo is on screen) or after post when the OS is loading before the graphics driver is loaded?

Regarding the solution: does 1.4 work fine once you’re in the OS?
