Randomly my monitor started to not show the bootup screens (MOBO / Starting Windows etc) before I get to the windows login screen. Even Mashed F8 / F2 and neither screens show up and forced to reboot manually. Tried both my VGA and HDMI ports.
What prompted me to notice I wasn't seeing my MOBO startup screen was my nvidia control panel gave me this error. "You are not currently using a display attached to a NVIDIA GPU." I was attempting to reboot into safe mode in order to do a clean install of my drivers. As I have a duplicate of the comp my wife uses I tried to navigate to safe mode without use of monitor, even though it looks like its logging me in, still a black screen.
Update:
Attempted to reset by BIOS. Turned off the power, took out the video card, took out the CMOS battery, waited 10 secs, held the power btn for about 20 secs & put it all back together. Now it looks like its trying to get me to tweak settings in the bios and I can't see anything. Also now I can't get into my login screen T_T.
