More Information

Hi, I can't get into the Bios. I have just built this pc and have windows xp(sp2) running. Everything goes through the boot process and I press delete on my keyboard. The Asus screen comes up, showing a press delete, I am already there, it moves on and goes into windows. I am using a ps2 keyboard.
When I hold or tap delete, I get that ticking sound from the mobo that usually indicates that it's going in but after showing the Asus logo, it just moves on into xp?
I have cleared the cmos and the first thing on screen was 'Overclocking failed' the bios screen then came up. I rebooted and now have the old problem!
