Will not enter bios setup

Every time i hit the F1 key on my HP Pavilion 7965 Desktop I get the HP screen and at the bottom of it, the message "Entering SETUP".  However that is as far as it goes.  It just seems to freeze and does not enter setup.  Does any one knows why and how I can get it to finish entering setup? 

Hello darkfant,
Pressing F11 on startup should enter the Advanced BIOS. If you press F11 on boot up does it do the same thing or is it just tied to the normal BIOS?

  • Satellite L305D-S59222 Will not enter BIOS

    Okay, in an attempt to fix the OS and not having a cd, I used my flash drive (which has windows on it) as a boot drive.  However, as soon as I told the computer to boot up after setting bios to boot to usb device, it looks for PXE.  I know this means it is looking for a network to boot from.  So I attempted to re enter bios and check what was going on, and possibly disable network boot.  It freezes up on the toshiba flash page.
    I have removed hd, cd drive, flash drive and ram (which incidentally won't let me even get to the toshiba flash screen).
    Any other suggestions?

    You might try reflashing the BIOS.

    It would be a good idea to post a signature with all of your equipment listed. It could be you are a little short on power, what is the voltage on the 12 volt rails of your power supply?
    Pop's
    The Psu is an antec 380W
    These are the readings
    for the 12v rail its 24A  if thats what you needed
    The beeps may well have been down to the fancy case, a bog standard case gives me NO BEEPS
    If I keep in the memory, video card and cpu with HSF the system shuts down after around 15 secs
    If I take out the memory and remove CPU the system stays on but no beeps, no boot

  • 990FXA-GD80 V2 - can't enter BIOS setup

    This board has mostly been working fine. I have a FX-8150 in it, and I switched out the fan for a Coolermaster. Now, it boots, but when I try to enter BIOS setup, it hangs on "Starting setup..." (or something like that) at the bottom of the screen.
    I have tried clearing the CMOS (including unplugging) a couple times. Not sure what else to try...

    Try with the board outside case on a non conductive surface and basic setup (one mem stick, cpu/cooler, psu, vga). Remove all drives and USB devices.
    That worked. Thank you. I am able to enter the BIOS setup. But will it still work in the case?
    EDIT: I did some searching and this is probably a case shorting. I noticed that one of the brass standoffs had come loose and was still attached to the screw when I took it out. I'm guessing that's what caused the short. I'll be more careful with the standoffs and see if that helps. Thanks for your help.

    What kind of PSU are you using?  List amperage(s) on the +12V-rail(s) also.
    Have you tried clearing CMOS? (remove main power plug from PSU first)
    When did this problem first appear? 
    i'm using ATX power supply 500W,  I'm not familiar with amperage stuff so i'll just write the list in the PSU
    INPUT | 115V ~ 10A   60Hz   230V  ~ 5.5A   50Hz
    Output   |   +5V   |   +12V   |   -5V   |   -12V   |   +3.3V   |   +5VSB
    500W     _______________________________________ ____________
    MAX       |   45A   |   18A     |   0.5A  |  0.8A    |  28A       |  2A
    I tried clearing CMOS in fact i changed the CMOS battery at first it work, I can run the BIOS again and the windows xp is working again then suddenly after 2 hrs. my pc restarts again and it keeps restarting again and i can't go to BIOS setup.
    It happen 3 days earlier when i'm just surfing in the internet then suddenly it restarts and since then it keeps on restarting.
    I'm using pentium duo core 2.8 GHz processor

  • Cant enter Bios Setup with K8N Diamond

    Anyone know whats going wrong here ....
    K8N Diamond (Bios 1.7), Athlon64 3700+, 2 x 1Gb Corsair XMS-PRO 3200, ATI x300 PCI-E Graphics, 2 x WD 74GB Raptors in Raid 0 on Nvidia Raid, 1 x Samsung 120gb SATA drive on Sil controller. Running Windows x64 on the WD Raid setup and Win2k on the Samsung drive.
    Everything running at stock speeds/voltages etc.
    Both Windows x64 and Win2k are running stable - absolutely no problems at all. (Use F11 at bootup to select bootup option).
    Problem is that I cant get into the bios setup. Pressing F2 at startup just makes the system hang. Anyone any ideas.
    cheers

    Hello !
    I am not really sure, but wasn´t the "Delete" key the way to enter Bios Setup Menu ??
    If not i am sorry.......try another Brand of Keyboard. Cahnaging from USB to PS/2 Keyboard could also help.

  • IPod Help needed from serious Apple gurus - iPod Touch 2g 16g stuck in restart loop. Will NOT enter DFU or recovery mode, NOT recognized by iTunes on Windows or Mac

    Ok, so here's the not so sad story. I bought an iPod Touch 2g 16g through Ebay - so forget warranties. Luckily I did not pay much. The description said it was stuck on the apple logo, so I figured it would be an easy put into recovery mode and restore problem.
    Not so much.
    If you plug the iPod in and charge up the battery the LCD will come to life after a while with the apple logo, then it displays the spinning wheel with the apple logo over it. That will last anywhere from 10 - 15 minutes, then the iPod will go blank for a few secs and then start up the cycle all over again.
    As stated, this iPod will NOT enter either DFU or recovery mode and believe me I've tried it several times several different ways with different timings, connected via USB to a Mac, connected to a different Mac running Windows, and connected to just the charger. Nothing. Occasionally the screen might go blank while holding the power and home buttons but nothing else happens and then it starts it's usual cycle again.
    Again, iPod NOT recognized by iTunes on either Mac or Windows side. Since I got off Ebay and seller didn't know much about it, I have no idea if someone tried to jailbreak this or not.
    I will not put much money into this machine. So I guess my question is: does this behavior mean that the motherboard is clearly fried? Are there any software programs that might diagnose what the problem is? Could it be as simple as a fried battery?
    And most importantly, is this iPod simply toast or is there anything anyone can suggest????
    Really any suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated. Seems a shame to just trash an iPod touch that might need a simple fix...
    If it helps matters, I can tinker with iPods somewhat and have torn down and replaced several iPod touch 1g and 2g glass and digitizers with no problems. I'm somewhat software savvy but the whole jailbreak thing is new territory... and I can't really figure out the command in Windows or Mac terminals to list all connected devices so I have no idea if the computer even knows the iPod is there, even if iTunes doesn't. Guess that's it... ummm, please help???

    Nothing huh? No one's had this problem or this isn't fixable... oh well... if anybody comes up with anything I'll check in occasionally...

  • Can´t enter bios setup/system does not boot

    Hi,
    I got a problem with my new KT6 Delta MS-6590 board.
    Sometimes after a prog is crashed and its better to restart windows, my System doesn´t boot anymore. It hangs after searching RAID-Disks. The Broadcom Dialog does not appear and the System stands. When I try to reset and would like to get into the bios setup I can´t enter it. The Delete Key do not work. After clearing cmos and going on with default values the systems works correctly until the next crash.
    The bracket says "Boot attempt"
    Whats the problem please help  ?(

    Read "KT6-LSR and installing Windows on SATA" post (At this moment is the last in this page). There you'll find many posts about Raid problems.  8)
