This is driving me crazy. I just built an system with an ASRock Duel Sata MoBo, and I can't get to the stupid BIOS! The key I need to use is F2. I've tried holding it down all the way through boot hitting it repeatedly through startup and resetting the CMOS. It just beeps after about 7 seconds (some times interrupting something else it's doing) and asks for a proper boot device. I can do stuff with it after that like inserting the MoBo CD, but I can't get the BIOS. It's obsessed with booting and... doh! Any ideas? I really need a quick reply. Thanks.

are you using a USB or ps/2 keyboard?

This may sound extremely elementary, but check to see if you have the keyboard plugged in all the way or in the correct slot. I just finished putting a system together using an older junk keyboard and had a similiar problem. The ps/2 plug wasn't making good contact and was driving me crazy. Never hurts to check the basics.
