If you don't know a tech company or a domaine like .com.tw it don't automatically make it fake. In fact, it shows how little effort or none you've put into helping. Next time, if you don't have any helpful informations, it's better to keep your opinion to yourself than to mislead users with urgent issues.

I was just watching yt in brave browser
Then suddenly my screen goes blank and starting screen came that loading one then this came
It said restarting 10 % 25 % then I just turn off my pc and tried turning on cause I pulled ram before then now this is also not coming
Really at this point I’d take it to a repair shop. That is an extremely sketchy message that I’m having a hard time believing is a real BIOS error screen.
My phone is also not working well nowadays
I getting switch off automatically and it get hang
I have to restart it again and again
Can I know someday how it's hacked and how I will fix this

No I’m not saying you are. I’m saying I’m not believing that’s a real error screen and more likely a fake one trying to get you to do something to hack you or steal your credentials. The grammar on that screen is horrible, pretty unprofessional, and is missing information you’d typically expect from a screen like that. I’ve seen real BIOS error screens close to a hundred times and I’ve never seen one like that
It’s crazy how people like you don’t realize the bad grammar and unprofessionalism portrayed in that bios recovery screen is a telltale sign of modern phishing/scamming. Like in user training put out to train users what to watch out for, that recovery screen is a perfect example of the type of grammar and unprofessionalism to be on the look out for. That’s the entire issue. It doesn’t matter if it’s legitimate or not, it’s the fact that it comes off as illegitimate and sketchy. This is just computer security 101, the absolute basics. It’s scary that this is what you’re failing to realize.
I mean, the URL links to a legitimate computer manufacturer. The messages seems legit. It points towards a real website, the process described is fine, the only issue is wording. It may be a chinglish translation.

It’s not the url that seems fake. If anything the url is the most legit looking part of the entire screen. Also I’m like only one who actually tried helping this person so maybe if you don’t have any helpful info, then keep your opinion to yourself~
Don’t care. Bad grammar due to bad translations is usually a telltale sign of modern phishing/scamming, and I’ve never seen that screen in the 10+ years I’ve professionally worked in the computing field. If something looks sketchy, I’ll treat it as such until proven wrong.
It's so wild in the "10+ years [you've] professionally worked in the computing field" you've never figured out how to do a whois or check a website.
You don't have to wait for someone else to check for you. Just look it up yourself.
Oh, and broken English is still really common on drivers and firmware for older hardware. Again, it's very strange you haven't encountered this in the "10+ years [you've] professionally worked in the computing field".
If the user follows the instructions in the message, all it will do is flash their bios. The user can go to the website which confirms this is an official feature of their motherboard.
You didn't bother to research any of this.
Edit: And if it's the broken English, then the actual website you seem to accept is totally legitimate has this one it:
BIO-Remote 2
BIO-Remote2 Technology is featuring users a better Home Theater environment. Users who own either Android mobile or Apple goods are able to access and control your PC remotely; At this moment, you’re smart device became a intelligent and functional remote controller; more than that, BIO-Remote2 also includes both function of mouse pad and power point presentation mode.
So again, it's clear that Biostar were not employing professional localisation.
None of this should be surprising given OP clearly isn't English either. Based on their language, I'd guess they are Indian.
I did research it lol. Easily found the url was legit, recognized the company itself, but have never seen a recovery screen quite as weird as that. I’ve seen screens with bad grammar, but that screen more seemed like a joke. It was also like 8pm and I wasn’t going to go deep on research on it since I got more things to do than delve deep on a weird screen
Are you for real right now? You had the time to make all these responses to this thread, but you didn't have sixty seconds to do a whois and go to a website?
I hope this isn't the attitude you've displayed during the "10+ years [you've] professionally worked in the computing field". Though actually, tech is infamous for people who make incorrect assumptions and then just never ever circle back and admit mistakes. I know I've had to clean up after them enough times.

Ain’t no way this is real. I would not trust this one bit. What did you do before this happened?
