As the title suggests, I can boot normally under all circumstances, through the GPU, through the APU, no problems except that when I try to access the BIOS or Boot Menu with the GPU installed, which I need to be able to do, however the screen remains blank.
I know that it has loaded because I can still "navigate" it and exit the BIOS or the Boot Menu from memory.
I have attempted this process with several different displays of varying resolution and quality with the same result.
This is becoming quite frustrating as I need to be able to access the BIOS to do what it is I am wanting to do. Specifically set up dual monitors.
