This is a recent issue...maybe a month or so.  I don't see the BIOS screen when booting, when I turn on the computer, it beeps (etc.) the monitor then says "no signal" which is a new thing, haven't seen that before, then after about 10 seconds, the screen goes to the Windows boot option menu (DOS like) I have Vista (x32) and Win7 (x64) to choose from.  Both OS's work fine.  But I don't know why I don't see the BIOS screen when I turn on the computer or reboot anymore.  Makes it impossible to change BIOS settings if you can't get to the BIOS screen.
 
Anyone?
Many thanks!

    Change ports on your card, The second Port does NOT actavate until Windows is loaded, and in the past some of the Updates swaped the Port #.

    Thanks for the input!
     
    I might have found the culprit...I'd recently plugged in a HDMI cable from the GPU card to a HDTV, the computer monitor is hooked up via DVI, the HDTV is always on "standby", the computer monitor is always on "standby".  I'll unplug the HDMI cable from the GPU and reboot to see if it fixed the problem.

    You're a genius...
    I unplugged the HDMI cable from the GPU card and the BIOS screen shows upon POST.
     
    Thanks!!
