how to access bios?

[kazkepox]

well I just wanted to know so that I can check my drive temps and stuff, and i think it has something to do with overclocking (totally unfamiliar with that, not gonna try any time soon.) But something I want you guys to know, you guys are the bomb at helping, most forums are full of people making fun of your computer and what not. I really appreciate all of this.

Press "delete" once you computer boots to its motherboard boot image. It should be the first thing that pops up.

Be careful in BIOS not to mess up any settings because they can/will fry your computer if set incorrectly. Always know what you're doing. Doesn't hurt to double check.

ok i am running on an old laptop right now that overheats playing games such as runescape (no i do not play it) or AQ:Worlds. is there anything i can do to cool it through bios? or should i just get a fan. also once i press delete and it pops up, I dont plan on messing with anything i just want to view tempuratures.

What temperature is it running at and what's the processor? You'd be surprised on how hot they're supposed to get.

i don't know, i'm too afraid to pull up bios and screw up my comp

You download programs that will get the temp off the sensor if the laptop has one. Try everest home edition, pc wizard i believe. There are other temperature programs, just google them.
