Hi guys,

I have installed memtest86 to a usb as instructed but when I start the computer with the USB in, it won't load the bios so I can't change the boot order. Bios loads normally when usb is removed.

What does one do?
 
Thanks Nick :-)

In the end it was just a case of waiting five minutes for the ASUS screen to go from "ASUS - doing the Impossible" or whatever their slogan is, to the actualy bios screen and then I just booted from the boot menu. So it had not hung.

For those with a USB boot problem: I got the impression that booting from a USB isn't always as straightforward as perhaps it is imagined. I saw quite a few posts in the various forums where people they had been struggling for hours to sort it out, so don't lose heart.

Some of the resolutions included:

- Use USB 2 not USB 3.
- There are various options you can tinker with in the USB menu,
- I think there is a thing you can switch off called beginning with X and ending with I which has something to do with changing all USB 3 to USB 2.

I thank you.
