A couple of days ago I needed to boot from cd so I restart the computer to enter the BIOS. Unfortunately, I found pressing the esc key no longer brought me to the BIOS screen and it just continued on with booting up. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with EasyBCD or what but any help would be appreciated. I have an ASUS P6X58D Premium motherboard and this is the system info from DxDiag... don't know how to post the file sorry.

Solution
When you boot up, try pressing the 'del' key on the numbers pad before the boot process is over. This typically gets you into your BIOS by doing so.
