BIOS Key Sequences -OR- Try hitting the PAUSE/BREAK key, on your keyboard, when the BIOS screen flashes on. That should hold the display so you can make note of which F key to use to get into BIOS at next boot. Then hit ENTER to continue.

Look closely at the screen when the computer boots up to find out the key to press or the bios manufacturer name you have.AMI, Phoenix and Award are well documented.AMI is often Del,Phoenix is F1.Other combinations are possible depending on your computer model and bios.Read here for more: http://www.inventio.co.uk/gettingintothebios.htm Good luck.
