Noob - How to get into BIOS?

**mmanzo5236** · 03-31-2005, 03:25 PM

Hi, I bought a Epia M-1000 MB a long time ago and put it in my closet. I got it back out to use it again and I cannot get into the bios. I've tried all the F1-12 functions and the escape key to get into the bios with no luck.

What button and when should I hit it to enter the bios?!

Thanks for your help. By the way, I've already searched and couldn't find anything so please don't beat me up

Yep its the Del key that gets you into the bios on Mini itx systems

That works, thanks!

No worries just update my bios yesterday to get rid of the annoying beep

Try putting a piece of salami into your CD drive - that's worked for me on occasion.

Balogna will also work, but it'll gum up your pfetzer valves and johnson flanges.

Well, if he was, then I believe that its justified.

Sure, this is the "newbie" forum, but this is a proto-newbie question at best. If one can't figure out how to get into one's computer's BIOS setup, then one should RTFM.

Getting into the BIOS is simple stuff - Either F1, F2 or Delete most the time ... failing that, search google for the Manual for the EPIA ... its just lazy asking this sort of question here thats all.

In my opinion if you can't do something as simple as accessing the BIOS you shouldn't really be doing a CarPC.
