Hey!
So at the moment i am trying to enable virtualization,i m able to boot the computer into windows but entering network boot (spamming f10 key before HP loading screen) but due to past problems, i have trouble getting into BIOS.
It started when i got a new graphics card (Asus Geforce GT740) and this caused my computer not being able to boot, without forcing it into network boot.
But like i said, when im trying to enter BIOS, it gets onto the screen where it says "Press Escape to enter Startup Menu" which at that moment it ignores when i press ESC.
I have tried holding it, i have tried all F1-F12, but nothing makes a difference, so im wondering if there is any way for me to get into bios and Bypass this problem.
I have looked for BIOS updates aswell, but i haven't been able to find one so far.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@alilleland, welcome to the forum.
The reason that the computer wouldn't boot with the GT 740 installed is, it requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS. If you are still using the GT 740, I suggest removing it to see if you can get into the Startup Menu. You can do this by tapping the Esc key as soon as the computer begins to boot.
