Can't access Bios?

Subnated · 28 Aug 2011 at 14:13

I'm using an ASRock Z68 Exterme4 Gen3 and I need to get into the Bios to check something, but whenever I start the computer up and mash all the necessary keys to do so - nothing happens. Windows just boots up and I'm left with this face :confused:

followed by this one :mad:

Can anyone help?

Are F2 and Del the keys you're mashing?

I assume your keyboard is USB.

Try using a different keyboard if you have one.

You may have better luck with a PS/2 keyboard or if you have a PS/2 adapter for a USB keyboard.

With the ASRock Z68 Exterme4 Gen3 it's F2 or Del.
