I got a new Dell XPS 13 today but unable to go into BIOS.

I tried F2 after restart I tried via system menu Nothing worked the screen stays black but the machine is running. Shortcut to restart graphic connection (ctrl shift windows B vs BSOD) brings no changes.

I noticed that I cannot boot in safe mode also.

I have no clue what could be the reason.

    For accessing the firmware make sure you're using the key or key combo mentioned in the manual. You may try FN+F2 or others.

    Also, from a running system, do a Restart. See if (a) there is a message on screen to enter setup and / or (b) the correct function key starts BIOS. Restart slows down to allow entering BIOS.

    From windows hold the shift key down when you click Restart, see if you can F2 into the bios at the Dell logo screen.

  • As for SAFE mode, interrupting boot multiple times by holding down the power key is a means to enter boot selection menu -- but only in emergencies, since there's a chance it might cause disk corruption.
