KG7 cant access bios

Hi
Have a KG7 with a Athlon 1.4 and for some time now I cant access the bios
settings.
I reseted the CMOS and when I´m pressing the DEL key I get a black screen
with a blue line at the bottom. Tried replacing graphic card and keyboard
and removing all PCI cards.

So now Im running at 1000MHz and cant access bios to increase the speed.
But windows starts OK anyway.

Is the board faulty or is there a "secret key"

Thanks!

this is caused by electrical noise getting into the mobo from a fan
connected to one or more of the mobo headers. disconnect the RPM lead from
all fans connected to the mobo fan headers. or, disconnect them one at a
time if you have more than one so that you can try to find which fan might
be causing it.

the RPM line is not the red or black line but frequently blue, white or
possibly yellow.

Hi!
Have to thank you all, it was the proc fan speed, the rpm was too slow.
I installed motherboard monitor and saw that fan speed was 300 000rpm !!!!!
Hmmm, not likely....
I increased the fan speed so It read 2500rpm and whops! I can enter the
bios.
Superb knowledge here!!
