Cannot get into BIOS using F1 or Enter

I'm at a complete loss here. Brand new T430. I changed the settings in BIOS to UEFI and installed Windows 7 x64 successfully. But I can no longer get into the BIOS. F1, F12, Enter nothing works.
Please help!
Thanks much!!

Hi someotherguy,
Can you help me with this problem?
I hit enter to stop the normal boot and then appear a window to select different options:
- F1: Enter BIOS
- Another one I don't remember
- F12: Select bootable device
Any of the menus I've tryied to enter I got a message afterwards saying:
"Intel Boot Agent GE v1.3.81
PXE 2.1 Build 091 WfM 2.0)"
And just stays there. Nothing happens.
After pressing F1 or F12 or other, I got a small message saying press CTRL+S to enter the setup menu. If I press it, I enter in a menu just to change the amount of time that message appear and if I want it or not.
Can you help me?

Cannot get into BIOS, No POST screen appear!

Here I am, stuck at the boot.
I am struggling for hours now but cannot make my Satellite L850-Y5310 to boot into BIOS. I have Ubuntu Linux installed on It and last time I remembered I was into bios I was experimenting with some new options like "Rapid Boot" or Fast boot (Not sure) but certainly that is the reason I am now unable to see any option to press 'any' key to get into bios or to select the boot device. As soon as I press the power button It takes me to the GRUB screen and Ubuntu boot up. That is really Fast as the Fastboot feature is expected to do but now it is nothing more than a trouble for me.
Anyone have any idea how can I access the BIOS now ? Just dont tell me get back to windows, I know there is an SSD containing the installation package and it will install a fresh copy of windows 7 for me but I just dont wanna do that.
I want to get back to the BIOS anyhow, or at least be able to see the POST screen so that I can press the respective key to enter the BIOS or Boot device selection menu.
Any help is highly appreciated.

When you have Fast Boot selected, you get into Setup by holding down the F2 key while starting the machine. While you are in the BIOS, you can change the Boot back to Normal. If you were using Windows 7, I could give you another way to change Fast Boot but I don't know whether it would work using Ubuntu. You can try by typing HWSetup in the Start/Search box, hit Enter and select the Boot Setting tab where you can make the change.

P35 NEO2-FR startup problems, cannot get into BIOS

Hello!
So i recently bought new parts for my computer:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz 1333Mhz
Motherboard: MSI P35 NEO2-FR
RAM: 2x Corsair TWIN2X 2048MB 6400 DDR2
PSU: Corsair Powersupply 550W (3.3v/30A, 5v/28A, 12V/41A)
Graphics Card: GeForce 7800 gtx (this part was not new, so i dont have any more details for it)
I start up my computer with only the CPU, graphics card and one RAM module installed, and a keyboard attached to the ps2 slot (using a converter) for simplicity. The problem is that the computer freezes up when the MSI screen comes up, and i cannot get into the BIOS. The LED lights on the motherboard is indicating the state "Testing base and extended memory". And b/c i go straight into the MSI start-up screen i am unable to find out what BIOS version i am running, though i am fairly sure (i have talked with another person that bought the same motherboard from the same shop as me at about the same time, and he is running BIOS v1.8) that it is 1.8 and it is therefore compitable with my cpu. I have also tried several different types of RAM with the same results. I am also very certain that i have all the cables plugged in correctly (have also tried resetting CMOS ALOT of times) but still the same result.
Does anyone have any clue what could be the problem ?

Have a look at the sticker on the BIOS Chip of the board to check the factory BIOS Version. The following picture shows the location of the chip on your board (it is actually a P35 Platinum, but it has the same PCB as the P35 Neo2-FR):

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz 1333Mhz
If you have an E8500, E0 (and not an E8500, C0) you will need BIOS v1.9 [A7345IMS.190] to have full support for your processor. You can identify your processor model by checking its sSpec number (on the CPU itself or on the box):
E8500, C0 ---> sSpec#=SLAPK {Supported since BIOS v1.6 [A7345IMS.160]}
E8500, E0 ---> sSpec#=SLB9K {Supported since BIOS v1.9 [A7345IMS.190]}

Cannot get into BIOS or boot PC, message asks for DriveLock password.

I have a old HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook and the hard drive has locked, I have removed the HD and the message still appears, is there a way to get to the BIOS?
PC is HPPavilion dv1000
s/n is [Personal Information Removed]

Thank You, The Lock message appears with the HD in or out, I took it our thinking I might could directly to the BIOS setup and disable it. I cannot get to the BIOS setup either way, I posted here because there are previous posts that mention a DriveLock Master password issued with the PC and several people were able to get theirs by providing PC information, please see earlier post. Also, one stream dealt with changing a jumper on the BIOS to reset it to factory settings.
From my understanding if the HDD was password locked in the previous laptop that laptop is the only one that can unlock it. Did you put the HDD back into the original laptop to attempt to access the HDD to unlock it? It's hard to tell if you did that or not?

Did you purchased the Full Perpetual License from Adobe for $149.00?, if so then what has happened is that you probably downloaded the Creative Cloud trial version which has now expired.
The license key for the perpetual version will not be accepted to activate the CC version.
Uninstall the existing Lightroom and then download the one available from the link below. The uninstall process will not affect your Catalog, Preferences or personal files but will just remove the application. Install the new download and you license key will be accepted.

You are getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

I cannot get into my router setup using 10.0.1.1

I cannot get into my router setup using 10.0.1.1
I did ipconfig and got the address but cannot open it up to make it a server.

This sounds like you are trying to use a web page setup for the AirPorts, which will not work.
You are aware that you must use an application.....AirPort Utility.....on a Mac, PC or iPhone or iPad to set up and configure the Airport routers, correct? The Setup Guide is pretty clear about this.
Is this a new AirPort Extreme that you have? If yes, please review the System Requirements:
Setup and Administration
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
If you have a previous version of the AirPort Extreme.....and you have not downloaded and installed AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows - Support - Apple , now might be a good time.

Can't get into BIOS on new Z97M-G43 Mobo

I just received all the components (below) for a new build. When I power the system up, I get a screen with the following:
EFI Shell Version 2.31 [4.633]
Current running mode 1.1.2 Map: Cannot find required map name
Press Esc in 5 seconds to skip startup.nsh, any other key to continue
Regardless of what I do, I cannot get into the BIOS. I have tried clearing the CMOS using the procedures documented here on the forum - both removing the CMOS battery and by using the jumper, both with the power off.
I removed all non-necessary connections - USB, HDD, DVD. The only things connected are power and the front panel power, reset and LED.
When I remove 2 of the 4 memory modules and restart, I get a message saying that the CPU or memory changed and to press F1 to go into setup. When I press F1, I only get a black screen. I also get a black screen if I press DEL repeatedly after turning on the system.
I am using a HDMI connection to my monitor.
What is the magic to get into the BIOS, or does this suggest something is wrong with the Mobo?
Many thanks!

then do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< and retest

How to get into BIOS of Sat P200D? What is correct temp for CPU/VGA load?

I tried everything, pressing ESC after power-up,F1, ESC/F1, F2....i cannot get into the bios.
What is the proper procedure to get into the BIOS? I used the latest BIOS 1.70 from Toshiba homepage, i remember i didn't have this problem with the older bios.
Furthermore, what are correct temps for the CPU under extreme load as well as VGA testing with OCCT/Furmark or everest?
If i run OCCT (extreme CPU stress test) i am getting some extreme numbers up to 95 degree on the CPU...
Thanks!

*SOLVED!!!*
It was indeed the case that any standard VGA resolution (like bios screen and bootup screen) was not displayed on the laptop!
Thats why i only saw a black screen!
I plugged an external monitor on it, and i see i am actually in BIOS.
So i went into the BIOS (using the other monitor) and changed the the setting "Analog + External", and now it works and i also have the toshiba logo back and everything

Laptop won't boot, can't get into BIOS.

I have a Satellite P55t-A5116, with windows 8.1. The other day I went into the Toshiba password utility and set a user password, and when the machine reboots, nothing happens. No sign in screen, no place to enter the password, nothing. I cannot get into the BIOS, having tried holding down the ESC, F2, F8, and F12 keys. I also tried holding down the Fn key plus the F2, F8, and F12 keys. I have tried to boot with my Toshiba System recovery disc ( that might be a windows 8 disc, I made it when I got the laptop in March), or an Unbuntu disc. Below is a screenshot of what I get when the machine starts. Did the BIOS get corrupted when I entered the password? If I pop out the CMOS battery, will that fix it? Any help and suggestions is much appreciated.

I'm not sure how setting the password would cause this. You might want to try these suggestions:
