HP Recommended
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Dear HP Community ! you're my last hope ....

 

I refurbished an old HP Compaq dc7900 (Minitower version) cor2duo 2.3 Ghz - 4GoRAM+ 240G SSD.

It works fluently with Win10 What an amazing piece of harware 😉

 

BUT ... there is a BUT ....

I'm totally UNABLE to enter the SETUP BIOS.

Whatever I tried, press F10 at boot time , clear CMOS (button or remove battery CR2032),

 

Context:

I have updated the BIOS to the latest BIOS REV V01.27

I have USB Keyboard.

In the past I managed to enter the BIOS Setup, it was hard but randomly after several reboot/attemps I was able to enter it

I'm also able to enter F9=Boot menu to choose order of boot (USB/Hard drive etc), or F12=Network.

BUT if I press F10, I see briefly "Setup" on the bottom/right of the screen.... but I don't enter in the BIOS SETUP at all... Windows start then immediatly

 

What can explain that, what can I do ...

(I want to change VT-x config in bios and some small parameters)
