Hello,
I have a D54250WYK connected to Samsung monitor (running at 1920 x 1200 resolution). I am connected to the monitor using a cable with an HDMI connector at one end and a DVI connector at the other (the latter, of course, connected to the monitor). I am using a female-female HDMI adaptor to connect this to a cable with a standard HDMI on one end and a mini-HDMI on the other end (connected, of course, to the NUC).
I have a Logitech K400r wireless keyboard with the USB dongle plugged into the NUC on its front side.
The NUC is connected to the network using an ethernet cable, although I have installed a wireless adapter which I could also use to connect to my LAN.
I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit as an OS.
My problem is that I cannot enter the BIOS setup using the F2 key. Often the first screen seen on boot is the Windows startup screen. Occasionally I see, for only about a second, the NUC screen which shows the legend "F2 to enter BIOS, F7 to update BIOS, F10 for boot menu". Even when I do see this, repeated pressing of the F2 key does not prevent Windows from starting. I have tried holding down the F2 key continuously also, this does not work either.
I have tried holding down the NUC power button for five seconds and then releasing it. Usually this results in nothing at all happening (the NUC remains off), but once I did get a different screen which remained on the monitor, with the legend above about F2, F7 and F10, and also the note that ESC to boot normally. Pressing F2 when this screen was displayed did nothing. Pressing F7 and F10 also did nothing. Pressing ESC caused the system to boot into Windows as usual.
I don't have a wired USB keyboard, but it would seem to me that if the system recognized the ESC key in the last-mentioned case, the keyboard was activated, and it should have recognized the F2 key.
Help needed!
Thanks
