I've installed a GTX 660 and since putting it in my computer doesn't show a BIOS or POST screen on start up. It remains black for about 10-15 seconds then the windows 8 login screen shows up as normal and the computer continues to run without any issues. All connections have been triple checked and when I put in the old video card there is no issue whatsoever, full and proper boot everytime. It doesn't seem to be causing any issues with the computer I would just really like to know what's going on.

Have you downloaded and installed the last NVIDIA drivers?

Silly question, is your display cable connected to your discrete graphics and not your integrated graphics?

It's connected through the graphics card, not the integrated.

Is there anything I'll need to do that? The computer never came with a Windows disk or anything if I had to reset the computer.
