Cannot access bios setup for SK8N MB
I have just installed a SK8N MB and after starting it up when the main
start screen opened with the Del to enter bios setup it did not take me there. Instead I was directed to the next screen which detected RAID devices of which there were none as well as that bios not installed. The options below this were F1 and F2. Using F2 to continue startup would take me to the OS system start with no problems at all. So the bios must be installed and running at default settings. Upon reboot and using the del again to get into the bios setup the same sequence of events occures. I have updated the bios to the latest version 1007, which installed with no problem, with no change in the problem. Any sugestions? |

I'm sure you've probably tried a few different ways, but sometimes I have to try 3 or 4 times to get into the bios on my A7N8X.. It seems to depend on when you start pressing "del" and how many times you press it. It would be nice if it would let you know when it's recognized your key press. I also have a *very* hard time getting into the onboard flash utility (ctrl-F2 or alt-F2 I think), it only works maybe 1/3 of the time, although the last time I needed to use it, I seemed to have better luck by pressing Alt and F2 in quick succession rather than holding Alt and then pressing F2. Hope this helps! |

Hope this helps! Using info gathered from another group I found that switching polarity on the pwr switch plug I got the bios to go to the device detection screen. It did indeed detect all the hardware and left me the F1 and F2 options. The F1 option to go to bios setup opened a screen with waiting in the middle. I left this for up to 20 min. with no change. Using the F2 option to go continue using default setting took me to the OS with no problems. I would like to get into the settings area to make a few changes so any further assistance would be greatly appreciated. |
