My Fatal1ty Killer Z87 Is Booting Too Fast To Get Into The BIOS?

[09824095ryan]

Hey. Just built my new PC the other day and I've been trying to find a way to get into the BIOS but on my SSD and with Win8.1 it boots in about four seconds to the login screen. There's no mb logo that appears at all or anything (did the first boot once - that's the only time I've seen it so far).

I would like to enable XMP and fiddle with a couple other things in the BIOS but I can't seem to get into the BIOS no matter which keys I press during boot.

Thanks.

Hi, 2 options: either clear the CMOS or http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-access-the-bios-on-a-windows-8-computer/ (or similar).

Hey, since it's WIN8 it's not accessable while booting (Too fast.) Through the charms bar, go to settings. At the bottom right corner select change PC settings. From there go to Update and Recovery, then choose recovery, and click on advanced startup. From there you should figure it out how to go to the bios, because I can't remember what goes after that. Select me as the solution if I've helped 😉 Cheers!

Next time, don't automatically click anything that says Fast/Quick/Turbo. ^)
