Cannot enter BIOS, tried everything!

    I need help entering my BIOS setup, so hopefully somebody around can help me!
    My mobo is an ASUS P6T so when I boot up it tells me to press ESC, so i do. I've tried holding it down, tapping it fast and slow, everything but it just seems to send it in a loop and back around to the boot screen again.

    I'm pretty sure its not a keyboard problem as I can press TAB to see to POST screen and use Pause Break to pause it. I've used a usb keyboard, wireless and ps/2, all with the same results.

    So i reset the CMOS and was able to enter BIOS by pressing F1 when settings werent detected as set. All keyboards work perfectly here. But on next bootup the same thing occurs. I can only enter BIOS on the FIRST boot after a CMOS reset. No other time, it just seems to loop around.

    I discovered that express gate wasnt working so i disabled that along with that annoying jmicron detector thing. USB legacy is enabled also. Still no difference. Does anybody know a way to help? Its driving me insane!

    Thanks in advance,
    Shanous

    Just checked again, it says ESC on the boot screen but DEL worked. Thanks very much! Man thats embarrassing though, been doing this for years and even the simplest thing can be missed!

    DELETE THREAD!

    Odd, unless it's an early edition of the BIOS. Unless it's referring to pressing esc to skip the mem-test.

    BIOS 0904, i've updated it to the newest one now though and this time it has DEL instead of ESC. Has it always been DEL on yours?

    Pretty sure it was, but my one's the deluxe version so there may be a difference.
