Select the File tab, use the down arrow to select System Information, and then press enter to locate the BIOS revision (version) and date. If the player feels that the screen is fleeting and it is too late to operate, you can also choose Before the screen appears, keep pressing until you enter the screen. Press f10 to open the BIOS Setup Utility. To enter the BIOS setting screen of the motherboard, you must press Delete del or F2 on the keyboard as the 'MSI Logo' appears when the computer is turned on. Turn on the computer, and then immediately press the esc key repeatedly until the Startup Menu opens.


How can I enter BIOS if F2 key is not working?.How do I change my BIOS settings without rebooting?.How do I get to HP Advanced BIOS settings?.I have double-checked that everything was connected and bedded down correctly, but still it will not save the BIOS Settings if unplugged from the mains. The battery slots into a vertical slot on the motherboard and a metal clip was over the top of it, not touching it, looked as if it was only there to save it falling out if the case was bumped, moved etcĪfter replacing the battery and ensuring that the battery is well bedded in and touching both the sides of its slot, using the good one the BIOS settings still would not remain as set, so I used the suspect iffy one from eBay still no joy. I bought another one after opening the case and removing the old one and checking the serial number, from eBay (I know) only to read after the purchase that someone had written that a battery bought from them was a dead one, so I bought another from a reputable dealer. I enter Delete to reset the BIOS settings and reset the date and time and the required boot up settings.Īfter I unplugged the PC and switched it back on again the settings were lost and as the pc had not been used for a good, long while I suspected that the CMOS battery was dead.


When I switched it on, I was presented with the two options of press F1 to Load default settings or Delete to enter Setup. I recently acquired a desktop PC with the following Specs:īIOS: Phoenix/Award Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG
