I was hoping there was a 'special' AMD way to access bios that I didn't know about.  The help menu was as usual no help.

It's not a brand-name computer, is it?  Like a Dell or HP or sth?  If not, SIS is the chipset, there should usually be a manufactuer's name on the center of the fan on the biggest chipset.  Otherwise, look for silk-screened names and numbers probably near the sides of the board.

Is this a homemade machine, or is it made by a manufacturer like Dell, HP, or Gateway?

Also... does the post screen tell you anything like bios revsion number or manufacturer?

jimmyjet:

This is in a HP.  This computer starts up so fast, it might say which key to push, but it goes by in a blur.

mvaughn:

Try these:

Enter the BIOS: Press F1 repeatedly during the HP boot-up screen for setup.

F1 is supposed to be the key to get you into bios setup on most HP's

or

Enter the BIOS: Press F2 repeatedly during the HP boot-up screen for setup.




SirPeale:

When the HP screen is up, you can usually hit [TAB] to see what's going on in the background.
