DX79SR help

[idata]

I have got a problem with getting into the BIOS with the F2 key. I get a message on the screen press ctrl + m to enter bios setup or space to continue. When I do this it enters the marvell controller bios not the mobo bios. No key that I have found enters the bios anymore. I have pressed all the F keys and the only one that does anything is the F5 key it launches the windows 8 diagnostic program. As said in the title this is for the desktopboard DX79SR version G57199 - 200 any help would be great. I didn't have any problems getting into the Bios till I installed the harddrive that needed to use the controller.

Hi,

Try this:

from a powered off state, hold the power button until it beeps 3 times. Let go of the button. The machine will restart, and prompt for F2, F7, etc.

You might find that fast boot is enabled in the BIOS.

Hello,

Please try the following recommendations:

- Press F2 several times before boot up to try to access the BIOS. Go to boot tab> boot menu type and ensure "display F2 to enter set up" is enabled.

- You can also use the configuration jumper to enter in configuration mode (page 59):

- Test with the back to BIOS bottom on the motherboard back panel.
