Why does my BIOS screen look zoomed in?

[snorex1]

I recently built a new rig and whenever i enter the bios screen, everything is zoomed in and its very hard to navigate around it with everything zoomed in. and this only occurs when i enter bios. By "zoomed" in, what i mean is that instead of viewing it at 1920x1200 resolution or whatever, it looks like its viewed at like 600x800 on my 24" monitor, everything is off to the side of the screen and i can't view it unless i move my mouse off the screen. This same problem occurred when i was using a AsRock 970 extreme3 motherboard. (RARELY) it would enter bios at normal size screen. I just recently upgraded to a asus crosshair. so i don't think its the motherboard's issue? any information or solution would be appreciated.
here is my specs.
Asus Crosshair V MB
Amd-fx 8120
gtx 660ti sli
2x 120gb vertex 3 ssd
16gb corsair vengeance rams
750w rosewill capstone psu

don't have the model of my monitor right now but will update post when i get home with monitor model.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like the BIOS is programmed for VESA compatible display modes only. If you have one of the new EFI firmware interfaces, you MAY be able to set the display mode.

solved, looks like it was a default setting on my video cards i was using. just switched to a gtx 660ti and everything looks good now.
