Getting into BIOS

I have a ms-6178 motherboard in a Tiny PC. I have no documentation on how to get into my BIOS.
I have tried; Delete, Escape, and F1-F12 already so I am thinking it may be a combonation of keys.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Wil

Hi Wil; Well I have Searched MSI's Whole product Site, and I'm Soryy to say, that it looks as though you have an OEM MSI Board in your System , as 6178 is NOT a Valid MSI Production Motherboard.
This Means that MSI Manufactured your Board for an OEM Company such as Hewlet Packard, Packard Bell, Compaq, or even Sony. So your best Bet is to Contact the OEM.
Another wat that I Can Tell that your Board MUST be in an OEM PC, is the Fact that that the Del. or the F1 through F-4 Keys do NOT allow you access to the BIOS, as All MB Manufacturers use Either Award or AMI BIOSes and Use a Single Keystoke for BIOS Entry.
Now the Way that we could Further Help you is if you Provide us with More Information, ie. (If it is Indeed an OEM PC) the Brand Name, what CPU does this MB Support, and also the Type of memory supported, Because sometimes you can find with Luck someone Else that has your Same PC. and they just dont know that they have the Same MB as you .........Let us know................Sean REILLY875

win8 should be installed on the big HDD.
If you have enough computing skills Win8.1 Update could be installed on the small SSD using the new feature - WimBOOT.

Can't get into BIOS mode

** i also put this question in O.P. topic, because i think that was the wrong one**
1. Type of computer - HP ENVY dv7-7250nr
2. opporating system- windows 8 64bit
I recently got this computer. It's amazing the only thing that could use a change is the keyboard. I got this as a gaming PC but the function keys can only be accesed when pressing FN. In most computer games the f# keys are your shortcuts. When i go to press mine i have windows changed and the control panal pops up.
So i was looking around and they say you can go into BIOS mode and turn off the hotkeys. Only issue is i can't get into BIOS mode.
I would really appreciate some help on this, i don't want to go out and key a whole-nother keyboard.
Thank you in advance.

Turn on the laptop then tap f10.
That should get you into the BIOS.

Dv9000 series - how to get into BIOS

How can I get into BIOS and how can I re-dedicate graphics memory-use there? (Maybe my other's post was too special...)

Oh, THAT's interesting to learn that chances are high, they either changed the whole mobo, or the system wouldn't run stable with damaged graphics memory...(An ugly one: would it be worth exchanging the mobo and do all that counterfeiting data just for the value of the old mobo???) Here's what I found so far: (I used "SIW System Information for Windows"-tool to get the following data, among a lot of other)- Serial-# matches my serial-# as per the original packaging, paperwork and bottom of the machine- Model 103C_5335KV (another way to denote the model KP964EA/dv9787eg?)- NVIDIA 8600M GS with (only) 256MB DDR2 64bits- dedicated video memory 239MB (251199488)- dedicated system memory 0MB- shared system memory 1279MB (1341353984)- Mobo is a Quanta 30CB 79.2E (no serial-# found/supplied by SIW!) I will check the hardware again by "reading out" data with Fn+Esc and/or CPUZ and GPUZ and report back (as said, I think the info there said KP964EA already - just to make sure)... Just for the guessing or "narrowing the problem down":IF my system was running on 256MB before already (and hp advertised wrong data for my rig) - so no change there - what else might cause my games running roughly now and be a reason for the dropped performance-index in windows?Possible that the graphics chip is able to perform with 256MB only and I would need another version of the 8600M GS which IS able to make use of the 512? (Guess no, as the above info TELLS me that there is only 256MB - and no 512MB - available, right?)CAN that be related to some software or driver?Would/might setting up windows anew (or changing from Vista to 7 for that matter) might bring me back to speed? Anyway, let me tell you that I VERY much appreciate your help on this - I am kind of lost on my own here, and I will try whatever I can to get back my "old" great-performing machine.

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.

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.

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!

remove power cord from the PSU 1st
then do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< and retest

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!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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?
I need to activate the virtualization on the BIOS in order to setup virtual machines!

Can no longer get into BIOS, always goes to system diagnostics

After changing some settings in BIOS the system won't boot anymore.
But the real problem is that I can not get into the BIOS anymore. When started the system goes straight to System Diagnostics.
When I continue I get the message:
BootDevice Not Found
Please install an operating system on your hard disk.
Hard Disk - (3F0)
When I go to the startup menu and try to enter Boot Device Options(F9) or Bios Setup(F10) it still takes me to System Diagnostics.
The system passes all system diagnostic tests.
I don't understand why I can't get into the BIOS anymore, this should always be possible right? How can I fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

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.

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.

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).

Cant get into Bios, New board (K8T Neo-FIS2R)

I just put in a new board and cpu, everything seems to start up fine. BUT I press DEL to get into the bios settings and it tells me theres no bios installed. My HDs wont autodetect at the start so i havent gotten to windows yet, HD taken from old pc with winxp on it already.
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...

Can't get into BIOS on K7N2G-ILSR 6570G

Yesterday I tried to get into the BIOS like I always had done, by pressing delete on start up. I tried numerous times, and for some reason, no luck. I then posted on techguy.org. Someone told me to get a BIOS flush utility from the MB manufact. I went to the website but couldn't find anything that looked like that. Can someone tell me what to look for, and why this may have happened in the first place.

I have spent the last 2 hrs with this computer. I finally tried a different keyboard after I had cleared CMOS and then it wouldn't let me press either del or F1. I was stuck, so changed keyboards and now everything is fine. I also managed to clean all the components and dust it out good while in there. Thanks for your help. I'm back in business!!
