X1C Unable to enter bios

#1 Post by dookie75 » Thu Sep 27, 2012 11:46 pm

Hey guys,

I did a clean install of Win7Pro with UEFI enabled.
Now I cant enter the bios with F1 at the ThinkPad screen.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forum :)
Did you install the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version of windows 7?

Have you tried System Update to make sure you have all the drivers (including Hot-Key drivers) :?:
