won't Boot into Bios

[TRraven]

I just built a new gaming pc that I also use for productivity. As the title suggests my pc won't boot into bios on my Samsung monitor which is connected display-port to my rx 580. But when I unplug this monitor and plug in my old 60hz gateway monitor via hdmi, you can enter bios.

more in depth- when pressing the power button (with the samsung monitor plugged in) the status light under the logo glows/lights up (this means its turning on) then it displays a black screen and powers off because there is no display then turns on in 5-10 secs because windows has booted.

 

my idea- the graphics card sends a signal to my monitor. The monitor powers on, then my monitor turns on before the bios is displayed so the screen is black and then the monitor powers off. So I need a way i think to change auto shutoff on my monitor but don't know how.

 

Other monitor-  using other monitor it powers on but takes a bit longer to do so and i can enter bios no problem, i dont like leaving this other monitor on the ground just for entering the bios

according to the monitor's manual, you can try changing the freesync to off(not sure if you have to be in windows mode or just with power to the monitor) and manually setting the refresh rate of the monitor, probably something lower.

 

From manual 1) "While you are using the FreeSync function, the screen may flicker due to variation of the output frequency from the graphics card."

                     

                      2) Change the screen refresh rate. A higher refresh rate makes pictures easier to look at for longer. • DisplayPort : 60 Hz / 100 Hz / 120 Hz / 144 Hz • HDMI1, HDMI2 : 60 Hz / 100 Hz / 120 Hz ― This menu is not available when FreeSync is set to On mode. Set FreeSync to Off and change the Refresh Rate. ― When changing the Refresh Rate, the screen may flicker depending on the computer graphics card. ― The function is available in a computer equipped with the graphic card that can change the refresh rate. It is unavailable in the devices

I have it set in manual freesync is off, refresh is at 144 and response time is 1ms
