Computer works fine but can't get into BIOS

I'm trying to install Linux on an old computer of mine that I haven't used in at least a year, and I just discovered that I can't get into the BIOS. The computer itself boots and runs fine. It's just when I hit Delete at bootup, instead of going to the Setup Menu I just get a blank screen and have to reset. The bootup screen says it's a "Award Medallion BIOS v6.0" and "ASUS A7V-133 ACPI BIOS Revision 1001C".

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I don't really have any pressing need to get into Setup (so far), but it does bother me not being able to get there if I need it.

Okay, now that I've messed with it some more I've discovered that the system crashes whenever I try to change the clock. The clock does still keep accurate time, so it's not just dead. Any suggestions?
