    is there any way i can check how the bios or cmos is setup when the computer starts. Pressing escape brings up the boot devices but there is nothing else. I'm not very familiar with laptops but i remember my brother had a laptop which had diagnostics and things you could run in the bios for hardware problems... I doubt this has that but just in case i wish i could look at and change the settings.

    When the company logo (asus) screen appears during system boot up, press F2 (I think).
