• Accessing Bios from Hibernation on a Pre-Installed W8
    3 replies, posted
As title says, I'm trying to access bios from hibernation state but booting bios in w8, as you know, is pain in the ass. Is it even possible? Because I can't find any way other than access from advanced pc settings and restart with a cold boot.
You shouldn't have to boot into windows to get there, After turning it on immediately start pressing buttons like F2, F12 Delete or ESC to name a few common ones. What brand/Model PC/Laptop is it?
It is an Asus N550JV non-touchscreen version with 16GB ram. I tried F2, F10 and del. I'll try esc now. But I think it is booting up so fast, that I can't reach booting bios screen at start. Because when I boot it, I see first a black screen and then an Asus logo while windows is loading at bottom. I also disabled fast boot. But it changed nothing. Update: Ok, I manage to get in to bios, via F2 while booting normally. But I still can't access bios while in hibernation mode. It just doesn't allow it I think?

Firmware is totally locked down until a reboot, or killing a hibernation boot half way through.
