How to enter BIOS of HP ProDesk 600 G2 SFF

[aoetlbb]

I'm trying enter BIOS by ESC, F10, F2 on this desktop but it show nothing.

If I just power on the desktop, it will show black screen then go to login screen. It seem to be the setting "Fast boot" is enable in BIOS and now it does not show any screen before login screen.

Please help to give your advice to recover the BIOS setup. I need it to do some stuff.

ok,

its a desk top

so what needs changing in BIOS.

sure some turned on , no text messages at boot,, not wise that, ever.

but that dont turn off BIOS pages EVER

are you powering on with front power botton and usign a USB keyboard, and hammering the right key.

lets read you service manaul firsts

read page 63 carefully

F10 is the HOT KEY , hammer it only when the monitor power changes to green it says, (means sync lines are now active)

I just hanner it, it can be a 3 second window of time when the BIOS listens to that key,  (all PC/s unless altered)

the best PC are HP

and desktops RULE.

and HP has the best docs in the business, bar NONE.  when you fix them you learn that fast

page 69 is fast boot,  use control +F to find words in docs.

Have you tried F1 ?

Have you tried repeatedly tapping one of those keys, as soon as you power-on, in the hope that one of those key-presses will be accepted at the right moment?

While you're trying to get into BIOS SETUP, detach the "data" cable from the disk-drive, so that it cannot boot into Windows.  If you do disconnect it, you may get a message like "nothing is bootable, press <blah> to enter BIOS SETUP".
