I've heard there's a way to unhide secret setting in K8NS Gigabyte BIOS, any know how?

I have the same motherboard as you, what BIOS version do you have?

For most Gigabyte mainboards you press Ctrl-F1 to access the hidden settings, the manual should tell you the exact keys to access them though.

My last two Gigabyte boards did not mention the Ctrl + F1 option.

I have the same board, and it works for me. Which BIOS?

I stand corrected, it is a little buried in the manual but I see it now. I guess I should RTFM a little better huh?:eek:

I have the same motherboard as you, what BIOS version do you have?

F2

At the main screen when you hit the Ctrl + F1 it does nothing? Are your keys working on your motherboard? Is your keyboard plugged into a USB or into PS2?

I'm going to try Ctrl+F1 within Bios when I get home. (rather than trying during POST)

USB keyboard works fine within BIOS
PS2 Keyboard doesn't work untill windows
