So I have two monitors. I've set one monitor to be primary with HDMI cable (Benq 27") and the secondary is on DVI (Asus 24") When the OS are booting, I see the start-up message on the secondary DVI monitor, and only when I actually get to Windows does the picture appear on the primary HDMI monitor.

How do I make the primary monitor to always display everything, including booting? Or is it the actual monitor and/or cable issue?

Try using the DVI cable for your main monitor and your HDMI cable for your secondary monitor. This should fix the issue, assuming you can make the switch.
