Question How do I stop bios from resetting primary display to CPU Graphics

[Mcfadrob]

The issue I am having is that BIOS is setting the primary display as CPU graphics. This option is found in BIOS > Advanced > System Agent Configuration > Graphics Configuration > Primary Display > . Options inside of this are Auto, CPU Graphics, and PCIE. If I set it to PCIE and then save and exit BIOS, it sends signal out through the GPU, however upon restart it resets back to CPU Graphics.

Things I have tried:
Installing newest Bios update
switching monitor
switching output cable
clearing CMOS
removing GPU

Hardware:
MoBo - Z390-E
CPU - 9900k
GPU - 2080
RAM - 64 GB Trident Royal @ 2333mhz
HD - Samsung 960 Evo NVMe
Waterblocks - Both from EK
