Here is my dilemma and hope i can get help here. I have an Alienware Aurora R4 desktop and i reformatted it 3 weeks ago with win 8.1. Everything is working fine, BUT i cant get into BIOS, and i want to get to the bios because i want to boot from recovery media(testing my media) at boot in case i have a boot problem i can use my AX64 recovery disc. When i boot, my keys on the keyboard F2,4, or 12 not working to go into BIOS. I also have a SSD as my primary for windows 8.1 OS. I searched articles and went into recovery and then choose UEFI firmware changes, it then boots to my BIOS but keyboard or mouse doesn't work. I borrowed a usb dell keyboard thinking its the keyboard, i get same results. I tried holding shift key plus shutdown to see if i see f2 or f12, nothing. So how can i ever get into boot to change sequence so it can boot from cd if i cant get into BIOS. I hope someone can help since i have been killing my brain cells for two days trying everything i can.Thanks for any help.
