im new to this and i have hit a stumbling block when trying to run a game.

i built my first rig a week ago and ironed out some little problems that were going on with it. i managed to get about an hour or two into skyrim and then i saved game and had a few very busy days at work.

i came back to it and there was a loading screen that just wouldnt turn off... i tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it was having none of it, when i tried it again the second time, it set my run settings at low, when they should be ultra high.

i then found that my computer didnt know i had another gpu other than the on board one on the processor.

The problem is now that i cant go into bios, because when i boot up the computer, when i press delete, nothing comes onto the screen, if i dont press delete, it loads up windows no problem... i cant get into the nvidia control panel because it cant speak to it and when i go through msconfig it shows that its using my processor

so im not sure where to go from here at all, any help would be much appreciated!
