2. Keep pressing the key to open the BIOS (usually it is Del, F1, F2, F4, F11, or F12). This key depends on the Motherboard manufacturer. You can easily google it out.

3. Once you get into the BIOS, it may look very scary or intimidating, but don't worry, you will get it right. Mouse may not work in BIOS so you might have to use the Directional or Arrow keys and the Enter key of the Keyboard to navigate.

• Search for the CPU configuration section, it can be called CPU configuration, processor, Northbridge or Chipset and may be under an advanced or advanced mode tab or menu.

• Once its enabled, save and reboot your pc.

If this part did not help you, you can specifically go the Website of the Mother Board Manufacturer of you Computer and ask for help.
