I enabled MSI's fast boot mode for the Z97 Gaming 5 mb; supposedly, it bypasses some of the driver/hardware initiate steps early on so it can load into Windows faster.

An unexpected consequence is that Windows starts loading before the keyboard becomes functional. So as of now, I can't seem to hit DEL fast enough to enter BIOS...

Any suggestions? Or is it time to short the bios-reset jumper?

(I though MSI command center had a boot to BIOS function, but I can't find it.)

Found solution:

MSI has a quick boot utility that allows you to restart to BIOS from Windows.

Alternatively, google told me to unplug my SSD and force the system to start into BIOS
