thanks for any helpTo reset the BIOS, take the following steps:

1. Power down computer
2. Take countermeasures against electro-static discharge
3. Remove computer casing
4. Inspect mainboard for a CMOS jump switch or CMOS battery

In case of CMOS jump switch:

Follow instructions provided with the mainboard manual.

In case of CMOS battery:

I. Remove CMOS battery for approximately 10-15 SECONDS.
II. After 10-15 seconds, place the CMOS battery back.

5. Power on system.

Do not power on the system when CMOS jumper is set to clear_cmos or when CMOS battery is non-present. ok i did this  at least i think i did    couldnt find a cmos jumper but did pull the battery  STILL same problem

have returned it to where i bought it  let them play with it it is under warranty  thanks for the attempt will let you know what they say it is
If the computer is still under warranty, you should never try anything yourself. Make use of the warranty instead.
