I had this setup build in early october, and overall im pretty satisfied with my computer thus far..
My only problem is i am having trouble accessing my BIOS.
I would like to access my BIOS to try some over clocking and to enable my turbo boost for the processor, but when ever i try to access it using the Delete key it freezes up
and i have to shut the computer down manually by holding the power on button. I am using a USB key board and mouse i don't if that makes a difference.
my setup is

Xion Predator 970 Gaming Series Mid Tower Case w/ 2 External Removable HDD Bays

CPU: AMD FX-8150 3.60 GHz Eight-Core AM3+ CPU 8MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology [+0]

so in other words im pretty much screwed.... going to call the manufacture support line and see if i can get some help from the IT's over there... this is pretty frustrating i just want to over clock a little because it doesnt seem like the amd over drive feature in the catalyst feature is helping
 
Sorry, I've missed you can't access the BIOS.
You have two more options: in Windows, using the ASUS Utility or in DOS.
Read the manual and follow the steps. I suggest updating the BIOS in DOS. Allthough I've always used the Windows utility, without issues, it's more risky.
Even if something goes wrong you can order a new BIOS chip from ebay or ASUS estore and replace the board's one. It's about 20$.
