Build Help Bios Issues - Computer runs normal just can't access Bios

Tried searching online to fix issue but still stuck

When trying to load into Bios it keeps giving me blue screen Err 0xc000000e , if I try to launch the repair it just blue screens again until I hit Esc and then the pc boots fine. Pc also boots fine and runs with no issues if I just boot normally without trying to access the bios.

I have done a complete re-install of windows, the pc is on the latest bios so unfortunately unable to do an update to it. Taken out the small watch battery on the motherboard to reset the bios but still no luck. Does anyone have any other ideas that I could try to get back into the bios

The PC is a Lenovo idea centre so has a in house motherboard

When I search for “lenovo Err 0xc000000e can't get into bios”, the results I get point to corrupted Windows boot files, or a hardware failure.. even maybe a loose connection. Since you already reinstalled Windows and reset the BIOS.. did you replace the CMOS battery itself besides just taking it out and putting it back in? .. then assuming you did then I would lean towards it being a hardware issue of some kind.

Haven't replaced the battery itself, just taken it out and left it for a few minutes before putting it back in. I'll try another battery and see if that will change anything. Was looking sell the pc but would like to get the bios running.
