System starts up in Windows but blocks access to BIOS unless the GPU is removed.
So something unusual is happening with my computer... My motherboard failed, so I swapped it out and it’s working fine again. But there’s an issue... When I power on, I don’t see the ROG logo, it just jumps straight to Windows 10. Pressing F2 gets me to the BIOS, but I can’t see anything on the screen. My monitor is completely blank.
If I take out the GPU and connect the HDMI directly into the motherboard, I can access the BIOS. Usually I overclock the system, but without the GPU installed, I can’t reach the BIOS.
I turned off fast boot, hoping it would help, but it didn’t make a difference.
Here’s my setup...
6700k
16 GB Trident Z 3200 RAM
H110i Corsair cooler
Asus ROG Maximus Hero Alpha MB
EVGA 1300 PSU
Strix GTX 1080
Crucial 240 SSD (boot drive) and several other drives
Many fans
Appreciate the support...
Activated Fast Boot in the BIOS and it operates extremely quickly, going unnoticed when you press any keys.
You have two choices:
- Reset CMOS
or
-Press the Shift key while clicking Restart, then repeatedly press the Del key during POST to enter the BIOS.
