BIOS - from English. "Basic input / output system" is a set of firmware that provides access to control the internal and external devices of a computer. BIOS files are written to the permanent memory of an EEPROM chip located on the motherboard.
Instructions
Step 1
In the BIOS terminal, you can make many settings, from setting the date and time to overclocking the frequency of the central processor.
The BIOS Setup program starts as follows: first you need to restart the computer, wait for the manufacturer's logo to appear. At this time, the screen will display the message “Press xxx for setup”, where “xxx” is the name of the key. For example, “Press del for setup” or “Press F2 for setup”. As soon as you see this inscription on the screen, before loading Windows, press the indicated key. A blue or black screen will open in front of you - this is the BIOS control panel.
Step 2
What key should I press if the manufacturer's logo appears but the check mark does not? Try to brute-force the most common BIOS startup keys: Del (Delete), F2 and Esc (Escape).
For some reason, motherboard manufacturers cannot agree among themselves on a single BIOS call key. And if the computer does not respond to pressing Del, F2 and Esc, try using the following keys, depending on the manufacturer:
F1 - some series of notebooks Acer, Dell, Micron, Sony, IBM;
F1 + Fn - Dell Latitude;
F3 - Sony Vaio;
F10 - Compaq laptops;
Ctrl + Alt + Del, Ctrl + Alt + Esc - AST.
