You have to access the BIOS before Windows even starts to boot. One common
way is to press the Del key when you first power on, but that's not
necessarily right for your computer. Watch the screen carefully when you
first boot; there's often a message there telling you what to do. If not,
check your system documentation or check with your vendor.
Also look here: http://michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm Or just
try the Del key. There's a good chance that's correct for you.

Unless your specific motherboard manufacturer provided a proprietary

is immaterial, it has no bearing upon how one enters the BIOS.
In the extremely unlikely event that your PC's manual or the
motherboard manufacturer's web site doesn't contain the needed
information, try one or more of the following:
