Hi,
This is an old (10+ year) DELL desktop with a nVIDIA 750TI I upgraded a few years ago. It has been working fine albeit slow. Last night it was running slow and I decided to reboot, and it never was able to boot up. I tried going into BIOS, but somehow the keyboard didn't work in BIOS. I decided to clear the BIOS by changing the jumper, but the keyboard still didn't work inside BIOS (F2 did work to get into BIOS). After some googling, I removed the 750TI and successfully booted from the integrated graphics card. However, once I put the 750TI back in, I'm hearing weird beeps during boot up (it beeps a short/normal one first, followed by a long beep, and then after a while it beeps a short/normal one again), and it'll show up on the monitors only after it gets into Windows (so I cannot get into BIOS normally). I guessed that it's because in BIOS, the "initial display first" option is set to "onboard". The only way to get back to BIOS is to plug one of the screen back to the integrated graphics card, and it'll show something like I should plug the monitor cable to the add-in card. And I was able to F2 to BIOS then. But if I change the "initial display first" to PCIE 16x, and move the monitor back to the 750TI, it'll hang on the DELL Inspiron screen.
While I can do normal operation in Windows now if I boot up from onboard, I don't think this is normal and I'd like to at least able to get to BIOS normally. How could I fix this?
Thanks for your help in advance.
