How can I view the BIOS boot screen text outside of the startup? I might recognize it that way. Thanks. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

As soon as you start your computer start tapping the F2 key.
Also, in the bios settings is often a setting controlling how long the bios screen displays.

I looked at the bios settings, but nothing there lets me control how long the bios screen displays. That setting aside, I also don't see anything in the bios settings that shows me the screen text. Did I miss something there?
I'm beginning to think that the message is simply a message of a driver loading because the screen blips by as soon as I leave the bios settings and startup continues. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

With blinding speed, precise timing and cat-like agility, I deftly pressed the Pause/Break button at precisely the right moment--finally.
The message is just, as Steve suggested, the bios boot screen text:
Intel (R) Management Engine BIOS Extension v6.0.3.0019
Copyright stuff here......
Intel (R) ME Firmware version 6.0.31.1208
Problem solved. Thanks to all for helping me with this. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
