Now here's my problem, I want to overclock so the computer will last me until Christmas, however I can't enter the BIOS. There's no warning page on startup and I've tried many times to get in...how can I?
 
you want to overclock so it will last you till next christmas? if you don't know what you're doing you'll be lucky it'll last you till next week, read articles on how to do things... "Use The Search!!!"
 
i know how to overclock, but i just can't get into the BIOS, i know what to do once im in

i have spammed delete, f2, f8, escape, ctrl-escape, and mashed all the buttons...nothing worked...i don't even see the words like "press delete to enter setup."
 
BlindApex the reason why you can't get into CMOS is probably because there is none or is disabled. have you tried F4 and BOTH of the DEL keys?
