Has this change occured since you updated to a new BIOS? You might want to try resetting to default and then looking at the boot options to see if there are any related to entering the BIOS.

I never updated the BIOS yet...When I got the G73SW-3DE it already came with the lates BIOS...The last I remember was doing a Windows Update but yesterday I wanted to go into the BIOS, Hit DEL and a Start Up Memory test screen came up which im pretty sure is a windows function...

Now I have to use the ESC key which is the BIOS BOOT Option mode...then have to select ENTER BIOS...

I do remember that I have UEFI option on in the BIOS just in case I might use UEFI in the future...

I thought you use F2 to enter the BIOS.
