P8P67 Pro

[Gunnergolly]

Hello

 

Anybody know how to put a ASUS P8P67 into safe mode ?.

 

Just wanting to Ccleaner my old 11.5 ATI drivers before installing the 11.6's.

 

Have done a google search and tried tapping the F6 key during the POST (Tapping the F8 key, just brings up the disk boot option).

 

Manual makes no mention.

 

Thanks.....

You might be pressing the F8 Key a bit too early, it has to be done just before the windows splash screen....

I'm using an SSD hard drive and i've got about 0.5 of a second between the POST finishing and the Windows Splash screen appearing to hit the F8 key at exactly the right moment !!!..

 

I managed it once in about 30 re-starts...!!!.

 

Did some more googling and found out that you can use system config to set Safe mode and then restart the machine.

 

Just remember to uncheck the Safe boot box when you have finished before restarting the machine again.

 

Just posted my findings in case it might help somebody else...

 

Thanks for taking the time to reply Moose..

Safe mode is not a motherboard/BIOS function, it is an OS function.
