    Could anyone please tell me what key to press to access the BIOS screen.
    F2 and F12 dont take me there and I cant find any reference to it anywhere.
    The fan on this machine [which is only 7 months old] has never shut up from the day that I bought the machine and I just want to access the BIOS to view settings etc.

    Many Thanks

    In the manual it says press F2 when the Lenovo screen comes on. Normally in these phases I keep tapping the same button until it registers fully as sometimes it doesn't do anything with just one button press.

    Thanks for that Hearst I can get into F2 ok it brings up the set up utility screen with information-config-security-boot-exit on it but there is nothing to let me into the BIOS screen, or am I being dumb and not seeing it?
    Thanks again

    That utility IS the BIOS.

    Thanks for that, but where do I find fan settings, temps, etc?
    I thought all that was on a separate screen.

    Thanks again
