I can't enter my BIOS/UEFI after activating "MSI Fast Boot" in the BIOS/UEFI.
I read somewhere about "GO2BIOS",but my installation disk didn't came with that software.

There is a utility called fast boot, is that on your disk?
If not you can get it at the MSI website. That will allow you to disable fast boot and enter the BIOS.

Yep, disable Fast Boot with the MSI utility and you'll be able to get to the BIOS. MSI also has a utility called "Click2BIOS" that allows you to make BIOS edits from within a Windows application. You have to reboot to make the changes take effect, though.

Where do I download the MSI fast boot utility? I can not get it if it's on the CD that came with the motherboard, because I do not have a dvd reader installed.
