Have you tried pressing it multiple times while it boots up and still while that screen is up? Have you tried a different keyboard/USB port?
yeh Ive pressed it a lot durning boot, sometimes the screen will hang black with "34" on the led display then reboot and yeh dried 2 motherboards in diffrent usb ports
edit - when i do get to the above screen and when I press f1 the pc freezes on a blank screen displaying error code 34
*EDIT*
thats a video of what happens when I get to the megatrends screen and press F1, the screen hangs and the motherboard displays the 34 error along withboot device led, it hangs for a while then reboots pressing DEl on the black screen saying press enter to continue as can be seen in the video gets the tv to mess up
Ive tried 1 ram stcik mem test - passed, then both sticks - passed also, tried graphics card in a second slot and disabled the first slot - same problem - it booted into windows then instaleld all the drivers for it in the second slot.

I apologise for double posting but I just found the problem -
MY TV!, I read 1-2 peoples posts from the awsome google lol who said that it was there tv, I'm using a HD ready 26 inch tv the last few years now, but originally didnt think that this was the problem as im using the same graphics and the same tv, thought I'd no way to test it as my gpu doesnt have a vga port, but just rememberd the tv downstairs is full 1080p, connected into the hdmi in the side booted up - instant ROG splash scree - "press del to ent efi" - pressed and entered no problem! - Guess im going to be buying myself a monitor
Thanks for everyones helps here in the troubleshooting, your advice was welcomed

Glad you found the problem! Not entirely sure how the TV was causing the problem? But at least you know.
Yeh either do I as its the same TV and graphics cazrd as before although I found someone who was using a diffrent board but the same problem and solution who suggested "I'm guessing the problem had something to do with the EFI's resolution. It's an old, old HDTV - I bought it when HD was the new big thing. I know loads of people use their HDTVs as monitors so no clue why mine was causing this problem. "
the TV is simalir to mine except larger, time to google monitors lol
