    Welcome gohruiren,

    It will depend on the brand of your computer and what BIOS chip is installed. The necessary key or key combination to press is often shown on screen during POST. F1 is quite common and so is Delete.

    That failing, here is a list of common ones that may serve you:

    bios setup access

    del during boot AMI, Award
    Esc during boot Toshiba
    F1 during boot Toshiba; Phoenix; Late model PS/1 Value Point and 330s
    F2 during boot NEC
    F10 when square in top RH corner of screen Compaq
    Ins during boot IBM PS/2s w/ Reference Partition
    Reset twice Some Dells
    Alt Enter Dell
    Alt ? some PS/2s
    Ctrl-Esc General
    Ctrl Ins some PS/2s when pointer at top right of screen
    Ctrl Alt Esc AST Advantage, Award, Tandon
    Ctrl Alt + General
    Ctrl Alt S Phoenix
    Ctrl Alt Ins Zenith, Phoenix

    Do you have a USB or PS2 keyboard connected?
    I am just wondering if you are using a USB keyboard and somehow USB has been disabled in the bios.
    Can this happen? If so what then should gohruiren do?
