Cant Enter Bios on acer Aspire 5740G

[vineetrok]

I am trying to enter the BIOS on my Acer Aspire 5740G, i3 330M, 4gb, 320gb, ATI mobility Radeon 5470 HD.
If i press F2, i get a bios like screen as follows, but that does not have any additional coniguration settings which I am looking for!


if I press other keys like F10, F8, F12 or even key combination of Ctrl+Alt+Esc I get only the os choice screen.
please help me out. Thank you!

U cannot expect Laptop bios to be like PC bios...

If you are planning to Overclock, I dont reccomend it.
Laptop hardware is shortened quicker than desktop.

actually I was trying to use laptop as wifi hotspot for my android using connectify, but wifi on laptop turns off after certain time.
I came to know that you cant have ethernet and wifi running at same time from here http://bit.ly/fbZ4Cw
so I was trying to enable it through BIOS!
any solutions to this??

Try changing power settings to max performance.

@thetechfreak can you please elaborate? i'm on windows 7.

[thetechfreak]

Right click battery icon and select max performance.

do you keep the power plugged on or use battery?

[vineetrok]

I did that, tried with ac plugged in and on battery too. no luck. wifi turns off after around 10-11 minutes.

What are you using to share Wifi?

Ad hoc or netsh or Connectify?
