How do you get into BIOS?

If you have your manual it will tell you. If you don't, post the brand and model of your machine and someone surely will know the right key combination to get you in.

usually, right when your computer is counting ram, you can hit delete and enter the bios.

there are literally dozens of other key combinations depending on your motherboard, sometimes F1, and sometimes two keys at once.

try delete first.

try F2 or DEL to 'enter setup'. if at boot there is such a message to 'press ..... to enter setup/CMOS/BIOS' thats it. if your BISO is award/phoenix i believe it's DEL
