pre-boot self assessment

I get a PSA screen everytime I boot my system now... anyone konw why or how I can turn it off? (I was reading somehwere that this comes up if we have the FN key pressed during boot -- I am not doing anything like that.)

This is a inspiron 4150.

Thanks.

    Thats strange... But once the system boots, I can press the FN key to eject cdrom/crt change etc.. (if I press the function keeys w/o pressing FN key, it won't work). So that means its not depressed... oh well I guess.

    Check BIOS [F2]. Try setting it to factory configuration [ALT + F], then save and exit. CAUTION: You may lose some settings if you do this. Reboot your computer. See if it works.

    When MediaDirect has completly booted, hold the power button until your computer shuts off. After that, press the MediaDirect button and you will see the black MediaDirect loading thing. This should fix any MediaDirect problems that you are facing.
