I cannot access the BIOS?

[MagosiYT]

So I have just got an Intel DQ35JO motherboard and build my new PC, everything works fine, but I just cannot enter the BIOS!
I've read and it seems to be that fast boot is probably enabled - Because my keyboard isn't active until windows loads. I've tried these things so far-
~Following Intel's guide, but they didnt have one for my specific motherboard.
~Reset the CMOS, The battery and the Jumper, and I know it was successful as it gave an error message about the CMOS battery
~Plugged the keyboard into different USB ports / I dont have a PS2 keyboard just to add.
The above have all proved unsuccessful - Can someone please help it's a very common issue i think, with no "real" fix.
----------------------------
Thanks, Luke.

Hi, check the following:

It seems that you need to place the bios jumper in a specific position in order to access to the Bios settings.

Thanks for the reply - However, I'm quite lost as to where I should actually put the jumper, like Normal, Configure or recovery mode?

I suppose it should be in the configure mode.
I had an intel board before and it was a bit strange in order to access to BIOS.

If you go one page back in the manual, you could see where the jumper is located and which side is the configure/normal mode.

If that doesn't work, it could be because of the USB keyboard.

Okay, I'll try this now. I'll be back to say if it works or not in like 5-10 minutes
