Have tried everything I know to access bios and nothing works.
Even found old keyboard and this still didn't work.

Any ideas
 
Have you enabled fast boot which is so fast you just don't get time to hit "del" to get into the BIOS?

On that board somewhere around OCTouch is a button called DBT (direct to bios) which if you press it and restart the system, it should go direct to bios.
 
If that doesnt have it.

clear the CMOS and it should also go in to the BIOS with a nice error message.

Or atleast set the fast boot back to default so you do get a chance to hit the DEL key.
 
Tried resetting cmos still wont go to Bios. Even took battery out for a while!
The force does not have the DBT button like the OC has. Shame
 
Tried spamming the del key
Tried plugging monitor into onboard rather than one of the 780's
I don't understand why it does not work. I have got into before (some time ago) but its been months like this now. Board is 12 months old in November do I need to RMA?
 
First try pressing F2 , Also check to see if you can download some kind of BIOS management software


The following is extreme, try at your own risk.

  • Disconnect every cable
  • Reset the CMOS
  • Take the battery
  • Reset the CMOS
  • Short the power pins
  • Connect only cables you need power/ screen/keyboard . NO Hard drive/Graphics card
  • start the pc, without the Battery

If still not working, Take all the ram out and turn it on. Also try unplug the CPU fan header with 1 stick of ram.

Basicly you want make sure no power is left in the board when you turn it on, and you are aiming for an error to send you into the BIOS.
