It is often the F2 key. Just hit it repeatedly as soon as you see the first screen, whatever screen that may be.

Yes, I have tried this. But even if I mash F2 like a madman it does not work. I have also tried this with other combinations, like ctrl alt enter.When the computer is loading you should see on the screen the F# key to hit to get into BIOS on your device.It is often the F2 key. Just hit it repeatedly as soon as you see the first screen, whatever screen that may be.

That is extremely odd. Unless, are you turning the computer off completely (no power at all) and then back on? Or just a reboot?
