Bios on Secondary Monitor

[madd dogg207]

I've just recently bought an EVGA 970 SSC & although it was a little weird at the beginning with my monitors; it's mostly good now.

The only problem I have is that my secondary monitor [some old small dell monitor ( through VGA to DVI)] boots with the bios on it. Originally with the onboard intel graphics my main monitor [Asus VX248H (through HDMI] had the bios load on it. It's not a real issue, but bugs the hell out of me that "Starting Windows" loads on an empty screen then I have to wake my main display to find all my icons and stuff.

Any ideas?

The BIOS screen usually shows up on whatever screen is connected to a higher priority port on the graphics card. I don't know of any way of changing that without connecting your main display to the higher priority port, which might require adapters.

another way is to go into properties of the monitors and reselect which one is the main monitor in it but i am unsure if that will do anything beneficial to your problem

Dang :/ The older monitor is my only problem. I would have to get a VGA to HDMI adapter and an HDMI to DVI for the main monitor. Sucks, but I guess I'll get over it.

That's not what I meant but thank you. My second monitor was just an old one I found, and I use it for very minimal things. If I get another matching Asus monitor I'll be sure to change which is my main. 😛
