Trying to get into bios and enable hyper-V. Keys don't work, I got into bios before by resetting cmos battery and I thought I had enabled it, but I think it just reverts back to default. I had to reinstall windows because I couldn't get into it. Don't really want to do that again if I can help it. I looked up for motherboard driver upgrades, but it didn't seem to need it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

yes I've tried that multiple times with multiple keys it's suppose to be the delete key. It's almost as if my keyboard doesn't work right away until after it boots up (which is usb by the way).

1) Try plugging your keyboard into a different USB port - preferably USB 2.0. Your specific motherboard should definitely detect the DEL key before it boots into Windows.

2) If that doesn't work, try a different keyboard.

3) Are your CMOS settings resetting ALL settings or just the virtualization setting? There's a Clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard - make sure that is not jumpered.
