    Does anyone know how to get into BIOS on the NP8278-S from XoticPC? I've tried F2, Esc, Del, and other function keys. Nothing has worked.

    Thanks in advance!

    Nevermind. I finally figured it out. I've never had a computer running Windows 8 before, and I didn't know it was done through an option within the OS. I find this kinda odd... but oh well.

    With Win 8(.1) and UEFI, that's probably the hybrid shutdown/fast boot that was preventing you from loading the BIOS setup. You can disable it, if you want, but you'll see slower boot up times.
