    Say what, your bios boots up blank ?

    Or, after you hit the key , nothing comes up ?

    After you hit that key, at least 2 things should come up. The hard drive and the dvd drive.

    What bios do you have? AMI, AWARD or....?
    You have to be able to boot form usb or DVD, otherwise you can't clean the disk and can't reinstall
    How can I tell what bios I have?


    https://www.google.com/search?q=awar...evice&tbm=isch You can see in pictures that's AWARD BIOS

    Yeah, I don't have that. At least, not that I've found. I've tried everything I've been told. Only kind of boot manager I found was the same thing I posted the pic of.

    When windows starts and I hit the key. (A few different function keys take me to the same place.)
    It takes me to the picture I posted. If I hit nothing, windows starts normally and fine.
    Nothing is wrong, other than this boot manager seems to be missing.
    I just want to wipe my pc and start fresh.

    What I said about it being blank was that I don't get that thing at the bottom of the screen that says hit this key to select boot options. Or whatever it says. Theres nothing there.

    Your'e not booting into the BIOS - keep hitting the DEL key during boot.

    Just tried that.
    It took me to the same place.
    I forgot, if it matters, that pic i took is 1 screen further.
    The first one I get it says Boot Manager or something.
    It says memory diagnostics at bottom and boot windows 7 at top. (normal boot up)

    Sorry, but you are not managing to acccess the BIOS.........are you sure you are repeatedly tapping DEL during bootup? Keep doing that until the BIOS screen appears.

    The bios screen is what you get when you 1st turn on the pc, it may be hidden, but it will tell you what key to push to get into the bios at the bottom of the screen.

    You are missing it and it goes to windows, you have to hit the key way b4 that. Try delete like G says, start hitting it as soon as you turn on the pc.

    Btw, that screen y'all keep saying should be coming up. I just remembered its also when the toshiba sign comes up. That doesnt happen either. It's just all blank until windows logo appears.

    If you power on computer, you see a bios logo. It's a splash screen. Do you see that? On bottom it says how to enter the bios settings
