    Ive just bought a new pc and trying to get into the bios,
    It has an intel btx motherboard with Award bios 2.3.

    Ive looked it up on the web and holding down "del" or pressing
    "CTRL+ALT+ESC" at the manufacturers load up screen should get me in? Am i missing something?

    Thanks in advance,

    If not those, try one of the Function keys (F1, F2, etc). If you have the motherboard manual, it should state it there. Failing that, if you know the motherboard model, you can look that up. The motherboard model is typically between the expansion slots.
