I doubt you can stop it, but you can go to the BIOS setup and look at the settings without changing anything. I think holding the F8 key early in the boot process takes you to the BIOS setup.
Or you could try taking a picture or video of it.

What is bios and cmos?
BIOS = Basic Input Output System CMOS = Copper-Metal Oxide Semiconductor BIOS is the interface which is built-in to a computer system's firmware used to configure the computer system hardware in very basic ways. BIOS can be used to enable or disable hardware integrated into the motherboard such as IDE controllers, USB hosts, audio controllers, video, and more. It is often accessed by pressing F2 during startup, but this can change from manufacturer to manufacturer. CMOS is a type of circuitry often powered by a battery which allows the information in BIOS to be stored. If the CMOS battery is drained or removed all the system configuration data in BIOS will be reset to factory defaults every time the computer is shut off. These small batteries are also commonly used in calculators, hearing aides, and wristwatches. Due to the close relationship between the BIOS and the CMOS in the computer system, the two phrases are often incorrectly used as synonyms for each other. Some users will refer to opening the BIOS menu as "going into CMOS" or replacing the CMOS battery as "fixing the BIOS battery." However, none of this is seen as grammatically incorrect in common day-to-day conversation.

The AMI or Award BIOS id appears at the bottom of your screen after power on, during memory count up.

Another (easier) way to get the Award/AMI BIOS ID is by downloading the BIOS Agent Plus software which will scan your PC and return your BIOS ID among other hardware information.
