Help I'm trying to access the bios but rebotting the pc  and keeping on pressing ESC key not showing anything but the bios

Some of these faster booting PC's are difficult to get the timing correct, so what I advise is this -

Start tapping the Esc key BEFORE starting the PC and then press the start button.
Keep tapping the Esc key until a popup menu shows. Then pick what you wish from that popup menu.  Bios is one of the choices.

Hook a monitor up to the RGB port (DB9) port on the PC if you re using the HDM or DVI port for your monitor.  
When I disconnected my hdmi monitor and hooked up a monitor with the DB9 connector I was able to see the BIOS and boot screens to access BIOS and for diagnostics.
