I can not access my bios anymore. I've had the memory upgraded to 512 ram and did some tweaks on it, but now i can't get in the bios, any help?

It is built into the Hardware and has nothing to do with the OS or anything else being used.

So if you want to get into your BIOS you need to post back with the Make & Model of the Computer because you need to press a Key like Delete, F10 or something else depending on who made the computer or supplied the BIOS.

You need to press the correct Key when the Post Screen or Makers Splash Screen appears just after turning on the computer.

You do not enter BIOS from within Windows.

Ideally you should wait till you see the Dell Splash Screen but if you turn on and press the [b]F2 Key[/b] that will take you into the BIOS.
