Question How do i get into the BIOS to disable allinone video

i need to get into the BIOS.. never did that before and it isnt in any of my books

to turn off the on-board video to install new hardware.

I tried tapping delete and F2 but that took me to Recovery..

F8 takes me to Safe Mode.

I have a Compaq Preserio 2.6GHz

From Compaq website:
When the red Compaq logo screen appears, press the F10 key on the keyboard to enter the Setup menu. If you are using a 6300, 6400, or S3000 series Presario desktop press the F1 key on the keyboard to enter the Setup menu.

NOTE: An alternate to the above steps, especially if the red Compaq logo screen disappears too quickly to enter BIOS, is to shut down (turn off) the computer. Wait 30 seconds, turn the power on and press F10 or F1 at the red Compaq logo screen.

you shouldnt have to turn it off, your board SHOULD auto recognise the AGP slot being used and revert automatically...
what is your situation, reason for turning it off...?
