Rep:
Without knowing what motherboard you have it is hard for us to give any type of exact answer. Usually f8 or Del(ete) key as NewtonIX said. Though there are some brands that allow for TAB or ESC or F1-F12. I guess you could just try them all until one works.
It's sort of like someone asking over the internet "does this shirt go with these pants?".
when you just turn on your computer it should say which key to press to get into bios, its should be somewhere along all the diagnostic messages you see in the beginning (if you are seeing OS startup messages, you are too late)
