press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot.
2. During reboot, press F2 to start the BIOS Setup utility.
3. The pointing device or mouse is not active in the BIOS Setup utility. Press the RIGHT and LEFT
arrow keys to move among menus. Press the DOWN and UP arrow keys to move among
parameters in a menu. Press ENTER to change a setting. See the table below for more
information.
4. After you select the options you want, press F10 or use the Exit menu to exit the BIOS Setup
utility.
