Starting Computer Skips Post Screen

Just today I installed a new mobo, cpu, and ram into an already existing system. When I booted for the first time I saw the mobo logo (Pro series) or whatever and like a windows loading circle underneath it. After that initial boot I never saw that logo again and I can't seem to access bios even when spamming the delete key while its booting up.

boot into Windows and hold shift while you click on Restart, that will bring you to a menu, then choose to boot into UEFI, if that doesn't work then switch displayport to the iGPU and see if that works

"UEFI Firmware Settings" search for it in the menus

Hey so I just installed new RAM CPU and a Mobo and for some reason whenever I start my computer it skips the mobo logo and the post screen. Its all a black screen and my display shows like "display port" on the corner of my monitor like its searching for a input. It skips the windows logo and the loading icon and goes straight into startup. I'm trying to get to my BIOS but when I hit delete before windows starts up the screen stays black but my display doesn't turn off so i'm thinking my GPU just doesn't wanna display the BIOS. Please help!

 

Thanks!

As soon as you turn on the computer, spam press the delete key, or whatever key your mobo says it is. My guess is your computer is booting up quickly and your monitor is slow to respond to the incoming signal.

did you change your monitor? also did it ever display BIOS before? or is this a new monitor and PC?

Yeah I tried to spam delete, but it just stays black then. Doesn't go to windows so I'm thinking it has something to do with my GPU not displaying BIOS.

Alright thanks. I figured it out for some reason my system doesn't like displayport and when I switched the display over to HDMI my post screen started showing and I was able to get into BIOS.
