Need help getting inside my BIOS :(

[Bananamancer]

I have a Gigabyte Z97-X Gaming 5 mobo(see sig for full specs). I configured my boot mode to Ultra Fast and now my system just boots really fast, no matter how fast I mash my delete button, I still can't get inside my BIOS. What's the work around for this?

Maybe theres a way to boot into bios from a setting on the PC?

 

Otherwise if you have to, clear your CMOS (easiest way is to reseat the mobo battery) and then itll reset the bios basically.

Unplug your boot device (once the computer is turned off) so it doesn't boot into Windows. Also, do you start tapping the delete buddon as soon as you hit the reset button? If not, do so.

Unplug your HDD and try again.

or when using Windows 8 boot the computer press and hold shift and click reboot and keep holding shift a screen will pop up with boot options and you can select BIOS/UEFI settings.

Is there any other options?

Yes I do start tapping my delete button after I press restart. I even tried to change the polling rate of my keyboard(dont know if it helps) but no results still.

This being your best bet without fiddling inside your machine...OR,..., Remove HDD or Remove Cmos battery.

 

Three options.

I have an SSD. Will try it I think it should work since I only have Win 7. Thanks!

Then the last method won't work you can also install the Gigabyte @bios software or easy tune.
