    I know that the usuall way to access BIOS is to press a key when your computer is starting up before it gets to the sign in screen. Problem is my Pc cuts straight to the sign in screen I don't see the screen where i'd have to press a key to access the BIOS. Any help on this? Cheers in advance.

    It's either the Esc key or F12 (depending on the system). Try rebooting and tapping one of those to get in. Start tapping the key as soon as the machine powers off.

    Often F2 key. Google your model!

    If you're using Windows 8 you have to do it through the Windows UEFI BIOS thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGiG1oljjZI
