Hello Forum,

This might be a stupid question for the veterans here but for some reason when my PC boots up, I don't see the Gigabyte logo where I could press 'Del' and access BIOS, it directly boots and shows me the Windows logo. I'm using Windows 8.1 and I think this is because I might have enabled fast boot. Is there any way to access BIOS now? Help is appreciated since I need to increase my CPU fan RPM.

Thanks! :)

TL;DR other replies. If its a dell, then in order to reset the bios, you may need to take out a jumper, boot, then replace it back where it was, then reboot. After that, either the ESC button, or f2 will take you to the BIOS setup.

In order to find this jumper, just find a spot where there's two pins, with a "jumper" connected to it.
