TIPS:

To recover your system back to factory settings press F10 and ALT together.

Note: a factory restore will require you to reload all your driver software and will
include you doing all windows updates, all your previous data will be lost.

F2 key will allow you to alter any motherboard settings

It's worth enabling the F12 option in the motherboard settings this will
allow you to boot from different devices.

Booting from an external device: It's better to boot from an external device using
the F12 option, some times setting the motherboard to boot from an alternative dvd type device
can fail, reasons are the external device may not identify itself to the motherboard fast enough and fails.
