Unable to access bios

[kovan]

I am attempting to enter the bios and am unable to ascertain what the hot key is due to a rediculous splash page that I can only disable if I get into the bios.

I have a DFI Lanparty Nf4 ultra-d mother board

I have tried

ctrl-alt-s
ctrl-alt-ins
cntrl-alt-esc
esc
del
f1
f2

None will work

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

btw also RTM and conveniently there is no mention of how to access the bios only how to set up overclocking when you are in.

Have you tried F8 or F12?

Its a Phoenix Award BIOS isn't it...

Try some of these key combinations on startup;
Press del during boot= (AMI, Award).
Press Esc during boot= Toshiba.
Press F1 during boot= (Toshiba; Phoenix; Late model PS/1 Value Point and 330s).
Press F2 during boot = (NEC).
Press F10 when square in top RH corner of screen= (Compaq).
Press Ins during boot=IBM PS/2 with reference partition.
Shift Ctrl Alt + Num Pad del= - Olivetti PC Pro.
Ctrl Alt ? =some PS/2s, such as 75 and 90.
Ctrl-Esc = Misc Puters
Ctrl Ins= some PS/2s when pointer at top right of screen.
Press reset twice= some Dells.
Ctrl Alt Enter= Dell.
Ctrl Alt Esc=AST Advantage, Award, Tandon.
Ctrl Alt + =Misc Puters
Ctrl Alt S= Phoenix.
Ctrl Alt Ins= (Zenith, Phoenix)
Ctrl S =(Phoenix).

A quick look of the manual shows it is delete.... Just keep hitting the key when you turn it on, it should let you in...

Tab or Esc temporarily disables the splash screen on some PCs. It may let you see what is listed as the BIOS entry key.
