    I know this is a dumb question, but can someone tell where to find which key it is that gets me into my bios? I can't find the documentation that came with the mobo and as the title says, it does not tell me during bootup.

    I have tried every key I can think of so I am guess its a ctrl+alt combo or something.

    I have a Biostar I915-A7 mobo with Phoenix AwardBIOS ver. 6.00PG

    thanks

    May seem like a no-brainer, but always check for "f-lock" or "function lock" keys if you have a newer or fancy keyboard, and also be aware that sometime usb is disabled during boot- which means that usb keyboards, etc. won't always work to get you into the bios (catch 22, there. :) )
