I have a new asus M5A78L-M/USB3 motherboard but I cannot find a secure boot option in the bios. I need to disable secure boot because I think it's preventing my gpu from working when I try to boot my pc. I can boot the pc normally without my gpu plugged in but I get no signal from monitor when windows boots when I have my gpu in.

So basically, if the secure boot is preventing me from using my gpu, what good is this stupid motherboard?

Thanks for your help but there is literally no option regarding secure boot whatsoever, I've checked everything but it doesn't matter any more because secure boot wasn't the problem. I read somewhere that motherboards with no secure boot option don't actually have secure boot so I don't think that was the cause of my booting issue.
Instead I found another way to boot my pc whilst my gpu was plugged into my pc.

1. Put in gpu but plug monitor into motherboard/integrated graphics.
2. In the bios, set it so it uses the integrated graphics. (this thread greatly helped http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/307509-33-optimal-graphics)
3. Booted up windows fine with gpu in pc, installed drivers.
4. Restart pc, go into bios and repeat step 2 but change it so it uses pci-e
