I am having trouble accessing my bios. When I hit F1 after the post screen, windows boot manager runs instead of my bios. In the past on the same machine, I have been able to access my bios without difficulty. I'm not sure what could have changed, other that gpu driver updates.

I have tried accessing the bios through the windows boot manager, but this doesn't seem to be possible.

I can access my bios if I reset it manually on the motherboard, but no matter what settings I use (default fail safe, default optimal, or my own) I cannot get back into the bios after a reboot, warm or cold. The only way I can get back in is to do another manual reset.

I have a msi 770-c45 with a Phenom ii x4 965 BE and Windows 7.
