I have tried removing the CMOS battery, depressing the power button for 90 seconds and leaving it without power for a week resulting in no joy. I have also attempted the "generic" bios password clearing EEPROM sofware from a usb (thus from the cmd prompt) and from windows again with no luck. I have tried reinstalling win 8.1 and then running a factory reset and again this did not work. I can not change the boot order and booting from a USB is only possible, via a manual process through the options available from the menu available upon start up and pressing the "esc" key. When I do this it only works with an OS on the USB as an IOS file.
HELP this is driving me nuts!!!!
Thanks in advance!
