• P7 - 1287c: cannot access the BIOS menu!

  Sounds stupid... but I can not access my bios, I tried every recommended keystroke (post start splashscreen).  Assistance would be appreciated!

  Yes, very frustrating!

  It is a shot in the water, but what do we have to lose?  Try unplugging the hard drive to see if you can access the BIOS.

• Need to do a system restore. When the computer starts and I cannot access the BIOS menu - help please... (WinXPSP3)

  I need to change the boot order, so the installation CD starts first-I can't enter the Bios at Startup Menu.

  It's a HP Pavilion that says F1 is supposed to allow me to access the menu of the BIOS at startup.  I also tried:

  Tip There are other keys that provide access to the BIOS. They include the following:

  o F1

  o F2

  o F10

  o, CTRL + ENTER

  o ALT + ENTER

  o, CTRL + ALT + ESC

  o, CTRL + ALT + INSERT

• HDX18: Cannot access the BIOS with F10

  Try to access my BIOS to set the boot on USB device sequence. Can't!

  Power and press F10 repeatedly does not bring me in the config of the BIOS beeps fair to me when my keyboard buffer is full and then continues in charge of the operating system.

  Never see option to press the keys to access BIOS either.

  Thanks for trying to help out.

  My system is a laptop from earlier versions of Windows 8 (2010) and MUST have posted the option to enter in the configuration at the start, but didn't. I had previously improved OS 32 bit to 64 bit - who created another folder Program Files, which in turn have brought masses of disk space. I then upgraded to Windows 10 and did not like the slow, he ran then, I wanted to install a clean Windows 10 and created a bootable USB device. That's when I found I couldn't access the BIOS to change my boot device.

  After trying everything I could find without success, I started the machine and once Windows has loaded, I pressed the SHIFT key and select restart. This brought me to the screen Menu UEFI. I went to watch each of the options - no led me across a good kind, I moved back to the main menu screen and clicked on continue - go out and continue to load Windows.

  After getting a black screen, I can FINALLY see the option - press ESC to enter Setup... Hooray!
  
  Problem solved - for now!

• Cannot access the BIOS on my Satellite U940-11 t

  Hello

  I have a problem with my computer.
  I installed a dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows 8.
  I disabled the UEFI mode in order to install Ubuntu. But now I have more access to Windows, and I can't go into the BIOS menu to activate the UEFI.

  I tried all possible combinations (F2, ESC, F12, F10, F8, DEL,...) and none of them opens the menu of the BIOS.

  I read on a forum that if I put my battery, it will work, but it didn't.

  How can I access the BIOS? Is there a secret combination that I have not yet tried?

  Thanks for your help.

  The F2 key is the right one to access the BIOS.
  Try this method:
  Press F2, and then press the power button to power the unit in place.

  By the way: Windows 8 and 8.1 Win requires the permit secure boot and UEFI boot mode.

• Cannot access the start menu

  I have a HP Pavilion m7590n. It was in the light of household use for about 4 years and finally the master hard drive died.  I thought that I would put in a new drive and while I'm at it install windows 7 as well.

  The problem is that none of the F keys seem to work. I can't access all the settings of the bios or boot menu for I can boot from a CD.

  The blue screen of the HP says that esc = Boot Menu F1 = Setup F10 = system recovery

  None of these keys work. I tried every other F key without success and some good faith 4 different keyboards, including the USB one supplied with the computer. No idea what is the problem? Or what I am doing wrong?

  I just need to boot from the windows 7 CD so I can install the operating system on the new hard drive.

  Thanks for any help on the subject.

  Hello

  You should be able to access the bios without a hard drive.  I disabled the sata ports in the bios for hard drives and I can always access the bios.

  Try this procedure:

  Disconnect the PC and open it. Clean all the dust. Carefully, remove and replace all the cables towards the mother board one at a time. Do the same for memory DIMM and the video and the sound of cards if you have a.  You can buy a can of compressed air to blow the dust out of the heatsink from the CPU.  Plug your PC back in and give it a go.

  Try this procedure and see if you can locate the problem. Troubleshooting problems of energy supply. Do not skip steps.

• Product: HP Pavilion Notebook-PC G7, cannot access the bios settings/turn off the keys f1 - f12, please help!

  I got this laptop PC in 2012, it is a series of G7, I'm pretty sure. My problem is that when I turn the computer off and turn it back on, there is no option to open the menu of the bios (esc) or any option besides. Just a symble blue HP directly in the middle of the screen with a symbol of little loading below him. I pressed ESC, f1 - f10 and virtually all other keys to try to access it. What I really want to do is to disable most annoying f1 - f12 function keys.

  I'm no longer under warranty and my operating system is Windows 8.  There is also no error at all, just no response what that's right don't charge up to login password screen.

  Please help and contribution is appreciated.

  Hi 2livewire4,

  Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  I see that you are looking to access the BIOS of your laptop Pavilion. You can't access BIOS in the same way on Windows 8, because you have a faction of a second to get the right timing because of the quick loading of Windows 8 feature. This third party link will show you how to access the UEFI that will lead to the BIOS. You can also do it from the Windows 8 login screen as this Microsoft link will show. Here is a document from HP support disable the function on some models Fn key combination +.

  Thank you

• Cannot access the BIOS on the Satellite L40T-A202

  Hello!

  Months ago, I've updated the bios of my laptop Toshiba L40T-A202. After reboot I can't access the bios. I fixed it by jumping the jcmos into the mobo. Now the problem occurrd again and I can't seem to fix it with the same problem I did.

  Can someone help me? This laptop was bought abroad and I don't want to spend a lot of cash and send it to the repair shops.

  Please help me on this.

  > I fixed it by jumping the jcmos into the mobo
  With this action, you certainly killed the guarantee. I really don't understand what was the reason for this action.

  For a better understanding, I have a few questions for you:
  Have you successfully updated the BIOS?
  You can start your machine properly?
  See Toshiba welcome screen on startup?
  Windows starts as usual?

• Cannot access the Start Menu - 6 Ultra

  I realize there are other threads on this problem but mine is a little diiferent.

  I just replaced memory in both my Ultra 6 s. The steps were:

  Ultra unit has

  Deletion of records

  New memory installed

  A run the memory test (past)

  Replacement discs

  Fact

  Ultra B

  Deletion of records

  New memory installed

  Could not access the Start Menu to run a memory test.

  Shared memory of unit A and B of the unit (with 'good' memory)

  Could not access the Boot Menu

  Blank placed in drive B and turned on.

  Could not access the Boot Menu

  Disk spent

  Has started doing a factory reset to unit B

  I pulled the plug when I saw "pending RAIDar.

  So it seems to B unit works fine except that I can't access the Start Menu.

  I guess that the reset button does not work on Unit B or is it possibly caused by something else?

  Here is my MAIN question:

  What should I expect when I put the original disks to unit B?

  I noticed that Studio B was assigned to a new IP address, so I'm a little unsure of what to expect.

  Ah, that could be just a bad reset button.

• Cannot access the BIOS Setup

  Hello

  Help, please!

  Instead press the blue button, press F1 and you will be able to enter the BIOS.

• Cannot access the BIOS on Aspire M

  Greetings, Acer community.

  I am a junior high school with a year + old Acer computer which broke down twice and is now out of warranty.  I bought this computer with my own money.

  My laptop Aspire M does not start because of the 'boot configuration file becoming invalid', that's at least what the blue screen States "recovery."  The offeres blue screen with "press Esc for UEFI firmware settings, but is not admissible.  I tried F2, F8, F10, Alt + F10, F12, bar space, Delete, and pause to try and activate the BIOS interface, just as unsuccessful.

  I followed the instructions to buy Acer recovery tools, but without being able to access the BIOS to set the boot order, I just sank another $25 in a laptop that does not work.

  The cost of the service exceeds the cost of the laptop, so I tend to keep trying to fix it myself.  If he can't ' be repaired, there is little chance I will buy a new Acer to replace as this has been a very frustrating experience.

  Help, please.

  Update!

  Well, first, I removed the HARD drive to try to get the BIOS F2-interruption of the boot sequence.  No luck.  So, it was off looking for the battery CMOS, which I thought might help interruption control W8 (or something else) could have on my sequence start, and as such, did not get to the BIOS screens.

  AND while poking around on the forums, YouTube and the manual - I found on the ACER site, I came across the port of "battery reset" on the merits of the case, which could be used for all disconnect all power from the system.  Seemed to be a promising option.  So, before you tinker with the CMOS, I pressed the reset button of battery for 4 seconds, using a small paper clip and VOILA!, after a power cycle, the bios screens were once more accessible usign F2, etc.  (Obviously, the keyboard is working very well.)

  I returned to screens Alt + F10 to try to * repair * the system using the functions of recovery aboard, but NONE of these options might work, they complain of a locked hard drive no boot device, the missing files of corruption or start-up sector.  Partial, complete repair, troubleshooting, none of this would work.

  Thus, using the system discs that I had already bought, I searched recharge the system entirely.  After you change the boot sequence, placing the CD/DVD drive to the top of the list, I inserted the disc system, rebooted and was on my way.

  I worked my way through the recovery system, three discs and your language and wait now for the freshly loaded operatign system complete the installation of all hardware and software components.  I am sure that this will solve my problem.

  I just wish that I would have realized that this little stupid option disconnect battery existed a few weeks ago.  Persistence is paying off, I guess.

• Cannot access the Bios Uefi more on E535

  Hello community,

  I recently bought a new laptop E535, works like a charm so far. Access BIOS was possible by pressing enter directly after machine, that came a kind of JOB analysis which could be ignored by pressing any key and that came a kind of table where I could access Bios by pressing a key (do not remember which it was exactly). Otherwise I could enter Bios when the boot menu by pressing tab, who passed on another tab where Bios could be entered (also a kind of diagnosis of the programs could be launched). As mentioned in the subject, it is impossible for me to do that now, after I did the following:

  -traded integrated with a new (access still possible Bios) SSD HDD

  -changed in the BIOS boot mode, both (legacy + UEFI) in Uefi only (maybe it's the problematic point, but I'm not sure)

  -Installed Windows 7 using Uefi on ssd

  Not when I press on enter on startup it brings me to the Windows boot menu manager (you know where you can say to start Windows normally or in safe mode and so). Menu of startup has also not changed with a new section "starting windows" (finally), but when switch to another tab, it is empty now, no entry for Bios setup or diagnostic tests more.

  It's really bad. I googled around and tried the following until now without success:

  -Pressing F1 instead of entry

  -Portable stop and start with F1 key

  -boot without HDD

  -from HARD drive without amendment, which was originally installed in the laptop (which cannot be started more, probably because it has been installed in legacy mode)

  I also thought about flashing the bios, but the latest version available on the lenovo support seems to be 1.04, but pre installed on my laptop is 1.10, so my version is much more recent. Should I try to still the flash?

  While looking around, I found a post that looks like a lot to my problem, but without any other ideas how to solve this problem except for mail in my machine:

  Thanks for your help

  It seems to be a very rare problem with installing Windows 7 in UEFI mode, thanks to the help of the "someotherguy" forum member I could solve it. Others running into the same problem should contact him directly.
