How do you get into your computer BIOS to change it. On one post it said to hit F8 but when I do that the computer just clicks? Thanks!  SignatureGrammyAndy Clicks? Depends on the mobo might be F1, F2 or other. Watch the screen at POST or check your pc or mobo manual. SignatureRegards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.

Thanks! > -- > GrammyAndy Boot your pc and keep an eye on the screen. You either get the system checking the memory or a manufacturer logo. In most cases it is necessary to keep tapping the DEL button until the BIOS appears. Start tapping the DEL button just after the memory check or after the logo appears. If windows starts to load then you started tapping the DEL key too late and will need to reboot. The user manual that came with the PC should give you instructions on how to enter the BIOS. Just remember altering BIOS options when you don't know what you are doing can cause your pc not to boot correctly. So make sure you know what you are doing before you start tinkering.

It can be any of these and more. F1, F2, F3, F10, F12, DEL, Esc, CTRL+ALT+ESC, CTRL+ALT+S, CTRL+ALT+INS or CTRL+ALT+INS after CTRL+ALT+DEL Accessing Motherboard BIOS http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm SignatureHope this helps.

I got into it OK. I didn't know it was called set up, also. Thanks all for your help. I haven't solved the problem but I'm working on it. Thanks!
