ASUS Notebook Aptio Setup Utility problem on first boot

[Pieter_1]

Hi,

I bought an Asus A555LB Notebook with windows 8.1 (http/www.campusshop.nl/zcs-01/80038824/asus-a555lb-dm348h-qwerty/details.aspx).

I plugged it an wanted to boot it up, but it sent me directly to the Aptio Utility Setup menu. I have read some posts on these forums, in which people say you should: "Select the Boot menu in the Aptio setup utility, select 'Launch CSM' and change to enable".

But in my case the Launch CSM option is greyed out so I cannot select it.

I haven't even intialised windows 8.1 yet, and it was the first boot up of this notebook ever, fresh out of the box. It's sunday here right now so all the helpdesks etc. aren't available.
Hopefully you guys can help me!

Hi Pieter_1,

Since this is your first time booting the PC up please try this an this might do the trick. Press F10 on your keyboard then select Yes on to the next pop up. That option will save and exit and should lead you to Windows 8.1 set up already once it exits Aptio setup utility.

I have the save problem as Pieter_1 but saving and exiting just brings me back to where i started. Any ideas?
