It sounds like that is the motherboard logo. If so, there is probably no way to change it unless this is a self built computer and the motherboard came with software that allows you to changet the logo (my Asus board did). Why do you not want it there? Removing it will not make it boot up faster.

A lot of biosses with a manufacturer logo have a setting to enable/disable that logo in the bios setup. Try looking for it there. And disabling it will not make your pc boot any faster, it will just show all the "gory" details of the POST (lots of technical text and ram being counted etc.) instead of hiding it. Whenever there's a bios with a fullscreen logo, pressing [tab] will switch to the text POST screen.

Go to "Advanced BIOS features", and look for a "Intel OnScreen Branding" setting, it should be near the bottom of the list, you might have to scroll down a bit. Disable this setting, and you should be rid of that logo

Well, I looked in the manual here, and there it is on page 51. Did you scroll down the options under "Advanced BIOS features" like I said ?
