How do I get to my computers BIOS?!? I have an emachine and I need to get to bios to fix something. How do I access it?

Normally, when booting up there will be a line saying 'hit del to enter setup' or something like that. Hit delete, and you;ll end up in bios.
Thats how it works on mine, it may be another button, but it;ll say (quite quickly mind so watch it!!) something how to enter setup (BIOS)
hope it helps

No. F8 will take you to an options menu.
To enter your BIOS (ie setup), you need to press one of three keys F1, F2, or Delete.
Try all three. It won't hurt.
Be careful in there though...

hi chris,which system do u have, becos the bios setup depends upon systems like dell,compaq and others.i will give u the information about this :
Here is is listing of some of the key combinations used to enter the BIOS setup on startup. You must do this during the first few seconds after you turn on power. If you see the windows startup, it's too late.
system keys to be pressed
Dell= Ctrl-Alt-Enter
Dell= Reset(Twice)
PS/2= Ctrl-Alt-?
PS/2= Ins
Toshiba= Esc
Toshiba= F1
NEC= F2
Compaq= F10
Award Bios= Ctrl-Alt-Esc
Phoenix Bios= Ctrl-Alt-S
Phoenix Bios= Ctrl-Alt-Ins
AMI Bios and Award Bios and others=Del (most common)
