I'm not really experienced when it comes to this type of thing. i have endlessly searched google to figure out my problem to no avail. When i restart my computer and press f2, del, f10, the only key that seems to work is the f2 key but instead of going to the bios menu it brings me something called CMOS. If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

How do i access BIOS menu?

Okay leave that alone.
It seems your board is not capable of running both onboard graphics and a graphics card at the same time.
What do you need to hook up to the computer?
What kind of connectors does the device (I'm guessing it's a screen) have on it?
What graphics card do you have? Make and model, not just GTX numbers or RX numbers.

Press Delete to enter "CMOS Setup Utility".
CMOS Setup Utility is BIOS. Not all companies call it BIOS.
In fact, it's not even BIOS anymore, it's UEFI but many still call it BIOS and many more call it UEFI BIOS... It gets confusing.
Just know that the blue fullscreen menu called CMOS Setup Utility is the BIOS setup program.
Just to make sure we're talking about the same screen, here's a screenshot I found in the manual.

Page 61 of the motherboard manual shows the BIOS, at the top is is labeled CMOS setup Utility, that is the BIOS.
When you see that screen you have triggered the BIOS. is that the screen you saw?

that is the BIOS

Well the manual isn't very helpful here...
Please open the Standard CMOS Features menu and type what you find into a new response here on Tom's. Skip a few lines and type what you find in the Advanced BIOS Features menu. Skip a few more lines and type what you find in the Integrated Peripherals menu.
Once I know what your options are, I can figure out what settings need to be changed.

The AMD FX chips do not have the integrated GPU like the APU's. the Motherboard has a separate GPU that shares resources. when a motherboard with the GPU onboard (in the chipset) has a GPU plugged into the PCIe slot the onboard is disabled. IDK if you can run a second screen off the motherboards GPU.
Does the GPU in the PCIe slot only have one display output? most can support multiple displays on a single card.

I've worked with boards with 800 and 900 series chipsets and they all had some sort of control over onboard graphics even when a card is installed.
However, the board OP has is rather basic. The manual didn't even go over the menus that might be useful to him. It really only went over the Cell menu and I can tell you from reading it that the Cell menu does not contain the options he's after.
This is why I asked him to describe the menus in BIOS.
Advanced Bios Features:
Boot Sequence
Bios Flash protection
Full screen logo display
quick booting
boot up num lock led
ioapic function
mps table version
primary graphics adapter
pci latency timer
hpet
tcg/tpm support
Integrated Peripherals:
Usb controller
Usb device legacy support
onboard lan controller
lan option rom
hd audio controller

I recommend to also unplug the machine before messing around with hardware. Don't want OP to get shocked.

It's not always that simple. Some graphics cards will work fine with those types of cables while others will need what's called an active adapter.
I need to know the make and model of your graphics card please.
I don't want you spending the extra money for an active adapter if you don't need it. I also don't want you buying a regular cable if it turns out that your card needs an active adapter.
BTW, which end needs to plug into the screen, VGA or DVI?

You have a DVI-I connector and chipset support for analog converter cables on your graphics card.
A simple converter cable will work for you.
