After "Fast Boot" has been enabled, you cannot access the BIOS setup during power on . The machine will bypass "Press F2 to access Setup Utiltiy and F12 for Boot Menu" prompt.
This is a bigger issue if the hard drive crashes and access to Windows is not possible OR

Fast Boot can be enabled or disabled in the BIOS setup, or in HW Setup under Windows.
If you have Fast Boot enabled and you want to get into the BIOS setup. Hold down the F2 key, then power on. That will get you into the BIOS setup Utility.
You can disable the Fast Boot Option here. You will need to disable Fast Boot if you want to use the F12 / Boot menu.

If you're not booting past the POST screen you're getting, then there is a possibility that one or more of your RAM sticks could be faulty. Typically, a surefire way of telling this is to open your machine up and make sure that the Ram is properly seated onto the motherboard. If it isn't, snap it down.
Hope this helps

Hi
When you start the computer click F2 to inter the Bios setup
then go to boot menu and choose boot order make the first boot for CD Drive

there's kind of MB contain boot menu you can reach it by click F12 when you start the PC

I think pressing "F10" or "F12" should show the boot menu on boot up but if this fails the you will have to go into the setup (bios) and set it there (could be the "DEL" key or "F2" for setup).

You need to go inside BIOS to find out whats the boot sequence. To activate the BIOS Utility, press F2 during POST (when “Press <F2> to enter Setup” message is prompted on the bottom of screen).
Press F2 to enter setup. The default parameter of F12 Boot Menu is set to “disabled”. If you want to change boot device without entering BIOS Setup Utility, please set the parameter to “enabled”.
Press <F12> during POST to enter multi-boot menu. In this menu, user can change boot device without entering BIOS SETUP Utility. Navigate to BOOT page on top.

Hope this helps!
