Question Blank BIOS (only BIOS)

Motherboard: A55BM-K
CPU: AMD A8-6600K (quad-core @4.2GHz)
RAM: 8GB dual-channel
GPU: Gigabyte WindForce OC (with AMD R9 270 2GB @975Mhz).

I know it's all pretty old lol.
Anyways, since I installed the GPU, the BIOS doesn't display, unless I reactivate the integrated graphics option from BIOS (by unplugging the card, so I can actually access the menus). Windows does load and display just fine, only the BIOS remain in black, with no error message(s) whatsoever. I already flashed the BIOS with the latest update, by the way.

What can I do? Any more info I could provide?

The problem is, I will eventually need to enter the BIOS, so I can boot from a pendrive and check stuff in case of a system failure. It would be a shame if I had to remove the GPU everytime this happened.

"did you try resetting the BIOS when you could access it with the integrated graphics ?"
Yes, and BIOS is set to PCI-E.

"Monitor plugged in GPU ? "
Yes. VGA output is disabled, unless I re-enable it from BIOS (xD)

"what Gen card are you trying to install on what Gen motherboard ?
are they compatible ? "

I don't understand this question. If it helps, everything WITHIN Windows, works just fine. Works with everything I've thrown to it except for a particular Minecraft shader (though it's known for being glitchy on AMD devices).
