Del, F2, F8, F12...
That depends on the motherboard in your computer and the BIOS installed. When you start the computer (from being without power - "Cold Start" - you will probably see at some early stage a black screen with some text that says something to the effect of "Press F12 to exit to BIOS" or "Press F8 for Startup Screen" or something similar. Press the button that you are instructed to. (if you miss and it starts to boot to Windows, shut the computer down gain and re start it - be ready this time! You could have only a window of a few seconds...

Why wont my computer turn on after clicking the power button just once?
We reinstalled Windows 7. We also updated all the drivers and the BIOS. Along with Windows itself, if we restart the computer, it starts up just fine, but when you power it down completely it will not turn back on. We end up pressing the power button 5-10x for it to start. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
