After trying and retrying booting up a few more times I finally managed 
to bring up the BIOS setup screen and immediately saw what the problem 
was: the BIOS splash screen time for some reason was set to zero instead 
of what it used to be: 5 seconds. No wonder I could not hit a key in 
time before. Now it's back to 5 secs again and everything is as it used 
to be: the required key presses are displayed at the bottom left of the 
scree, with the "HP Invent" logo in the center.
I wish I'll never know why the BIOS splash screen display time was reset 
to zero secs. By the way, the setup is brought up with either the F10 or 
F12 key.

Thanks for the various tips, guys.
