Cant get into BIOS via DEL key, screen goes blank on load RD240

Hello group, having an issue with a RD240 rackmount server attempting to bring it online for the first time. Currently in a one CPU configuration with one stick on RAM in the correct slot, using SAS. When the computer first boots prompting you to hit either DEL or TAB those keyboard commands are non-effective. Once it bypasses that screen it will move towards the LSI connfiguration utility. If you hit Ctrl +C it will say that the utility will become active after initialization. The screen then just goes blank. At that point I can hit Ctrl Alt Delete and it will reboot the server and then in the same mess again, Del is ignored, I can't boot off the CDROM, cleared the BIOS using the jumpers, nada. Any thoughts on this would be great, at this point I can't get in to configure and if I just let it boot always ends in a black screen. Checked the cables for the SAS and everything looks good across the board to me. Tried different RAM sticks, unplugging the SATA CDROM, etc. I can get into the Mgmt via the web and sensor show everything green across the board etc but something is borked. There is a LED screen on the mainboard with the number 78. I couldn't reference what that means. All drives I can hear click on, Cheetah 15k all around. Steady green light on bottom, top light out. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Try pressing F1 at the Thinkserver Screen. When Setup Bios appears, you can exit out by pressing Esc. After the screen goes blank, press Ctrl+H to get the Web Bios screen which will allow you to configure your server. I hope that this will help.

Unknown Processor Revison & Cant get into bios! RS482M4

Similair to problem to another post but have tried what was suggested.
This is my first attempt at an AMD system and I've hit a dead end on the first switch on...
AMD Athlon 64 3700+
MSI RS482M4 Motherboard
1GB RAM
WD 1600AB H/Drive
Sony CD-RW
When I power on I get the bios screen with the M/B details (RS482M4 A7019AMS V1.1) and processor details (AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+DRAM Clocking = 400 MHz).
It then goes a little further, initialises USB drivers, mememore HD and CDRom then states:
CMOS Settings Wrong
CMOS Date/Time Not Set
****Warning: Unknown Processor Revision ****
The processor installed on your system is of an unknown revision. Please contact your BIOS vendor for appropriate upadates.
Fatal Error ... System Halted.
I have tried resettng the CMOS but as I cant get into the BIOS I cant update it and feel like I've been going round in circles for the last 5 hours!
Any ideas?

Bios version is V1.1 and PC doesnt boot to anything - doesnt get beyond saying 'Unknown Processor Revision' to even allow you into the bios to try updating it.
I have also tried asking on the MSI online support but as yet with no reply. Its really annoying me as the motherboard has all the things I need and don't want to have to go and buy another one (have tried the CPU & memory in another machine and all worked fine).

Im totally lost here as what to do.
Can i just DL the newest bios drivers and flash?

no bios installed
...that's the Promise controller...you have to press Delete when you first power on, you're probably missing the timing because of the Core Cell screen...
...you don't want to flash the BIOS until you get a stable system...well, you could, but...

Z68A-GD55 can't get into BIOS anymore

Just built new Z68 computer gradually over 3 days. Then loaded applications and everything worked great for 2 days. Decided it was done and time to change boot priority in BIOS. Couldn’t get into BIOS. Got splash screen but no further.
Found forum message recommending CMOS reset. Tried button, jumper, remove battery methods. Still can’t get into BIOS. Get BIOS Prompt ("...press DELETE"), but nothing after that except flashing cursor top left of screen. Back to barebones; same result. Screen messages before BIOS prompt: 98, 99, A3. Will not boot MS DOS (Win98 version) from USB drive (would before). I’d appreciate any suggestions. Thx.
Key build steps:
• Ran Memtest barebones 48 hrs.
• Added SSD (ACHI) and Installed Windows 7 Pro. SSD was new.
• Added, formatted HDD
• Enabled multi-monitor in BIOS; added Radeon HD6870; 2 monitors on Radeon, none on internal; installed Radeon drivers.
• Enabled Virtu in BIOS, d-mode; Installed Virtu
Not overclocked.

After replacing the PSU with a Corsair TX650M (650w, 3.3v30A, 5v30A, 12V54A), the barebones config could access the BIOS. Installed everything except boot SSD; still OK.
Before letting the computer boot back into Win7, I connected two old 19" LCD monitors (Microtek C997SD). For setup and testing, I had been using a 24" widescreen. But Win7 had never seen anything but the Microteks, which I intend to use with this computer. Tried to enter BIOS to verify settings were still correct for SSD. Got splash screen -- regular BIOS background, but no Icons (Green Power, Utilities, Overclocking, etc.). Computer locks: PS/2 keyboard (incl. Ctrl-Alt-Del) and USB mouse, do nothing.
Connected widescreen, verified BIOS OK. Shut down and reconnected Microteks, attempted boot into Win7, and all was OK. I just can't use a Microtek to access BIOS.
I hope MSI recognizes how valuable the volunteers here are. Your advice solved the problem at least a couple of days earlier than I would have done on my own. Thank you.

Hi Mike, the Keyboard shouldn't matter, it should be OK in that respect.
Your kind of stuck without any Install Disc to try to repair it or reinstall, but...
Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Tough without the Tiger Disk problems, but try fsck...
To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup. Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
(SPACE between fsck AND -fy important)
3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found: 
The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK  If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****   Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.

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.

I can only see the welcome to mail screen (iphone 5). I have set up mail successfully because it shows mail icon with messages. But I cant get into the mail box!

I can only see the welcome to mail screen (iphone 5). I have successfully set up the mail because it shows mail icon with messages (104 messages). But I cant get into the actual mail box to read them. Pls help!

The received emails should show in two locations:
1. In the All Inboxes tab of Mail.
2. The Inbox for each mail account,
If your emails are not showing in these locations try quitting the mail app and then reset your iPhone.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Cant get into my messages - please help

Hello
I cant get into my messages. I press on messaging and the screen looks like it will go through but then it just returns to my main screen again. My handset is also not receiving texts my friends send me! yet i can bluetooth pics to my handset off other phones - but then it wont let me into the inbox to open them. I have put my sim in another handset and it works fine.
What are my options? if I reset will I lose all the saved picture messages in the sub-folder i have set up in the inbox? Is there anyway I can get to these and save them! please help

My girlfriend was having a similar problem with her N95 phone. I'd spotted a couple of posts like this one, but no solution. Here's how I fixed it...
Used nokia pc suite to back everything up off the phone.
We tried resetting the phone to factory settings using both the option within the phone, and the reset code, but still couldn't access messages.
We then entered *#7370# to reformat the phone, and messages were than accessible.
As we thought might happen, when we restored the full backup in nokia pc suite, the messages couldn't be accessed.
We reformatted the phone a second time, and restored the backup using nokia pc suite again but this time we didn't restore the settings. Messaging was accessible again, the old messages, contacts etc were all there. All that needed setting up again were things like selected ring tones.
Hope that helps.
