    I have just updated to BIOS 220 and i cant seem to get to the BIOS config screen during start-up. Ive tried F8, F9, F10,F11, F12, TAB and DEL! Its really hacking me off now :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Can anyone (esp other A6 users) tell me what they press to get to the BIOS config?

    It may come in useful for future owners, so I'll leave it :p

    Just hope they know how to use the search function.

    Just a ques. Why does the BIOS key have to change? Wouldn't it be better to leave it at a constant, standardised key? Like DEL, F10, or whatever..

    I was talking about BIOSes in general. I've seen wuite a few BIOS updates changing the BIOS key. Desktops, mostly, on phoenix bios. Don't know about Asus in general- So far have only used a F3Jp for any amount of time.
