BIOS Splash and BIOS display on wrong monitor

[Manchu]

Today I build myself a new system, which is actually my first system I've custom built for myself (I've built for others before). So to make a long story short, my BIOS splash, BIOS menu and Windows boot screen no longer display on my primary screen when the PC is powered on from a shut down or restarted. I'm using the same GPU, so I'm almost 100% confident it's the motherboard as the crappy Dell motherboard I was using before displayed the boot screen and BIOS menu on my main screen. My second display is a POS Sony LCD that's like 12 years old or something, which is why I'd rather use the primary one for the BIOS and boot screen. Does anyone know of a way to fix or change this?

It doesn't matter, just sleep your system

 

Its the primary gpu that shows it, and thats normally the igpu.

I dont have the best memory of what I did, since its been a while since I had two monitors. So if I remember (atleast its worth a try) unplug your unwanted monitor open bios on the monitor that is still connected (the one you want) then just do a reboot, shutdown. Then reconnect your second monitor.

Alright I'll try that.

Usually it's ur primary gpu and if you have multiple monitors in the gpu it tends to just pick one. You can swap cable around.

Swap cables around as in plug the cables into different ports?
