My GPU has VGA, DVI and HDMI outputs. On PC start-up, about 4 months ago, the VGA connected monitor stopped displaying the Gigabyte splash screen, but everything is fine after that. TV connected to the HDMI output does show the gigabyte splash screen. Can't check the DVI as I have no cable.
Wasn't a problem till I needed to do some work on the pc yesterday, and don't have a wi-fi mouse or keyboard.
Any ideas?

Do you have dedicated GPU card ?

BIOS splash screen is being shown only on primary video output.
So - on one screen only (not on all of them).

Have only single screen connected and reboot your pc. You should get your splash screen.
If still doesn't work, then reset BIOS settings.
and don't have a wi-fi mouse or keyboard.
Wireless mice/keyboards don't use wifi. They use either Bluetooth or RF 2.4Ghz range.

Sorry, left a bit out. BIOS screen after the splash screen is also not showing on monitor, but is in the HDMI tv. Will try the HDMI disconnect shortly and see what happens.
RF or whatever [I really meant wireless] doesn't matter, don't have a remote mouse/keyboard. Have been getting around it in BIOS with the wife telling me where to move the mouse on the TV is, but that is tedious.
Yes, I have a dedicated GPU card - no onboard video with this i7 CPU.
Mainly just wondering why this fault would just show up suddenly after everything working ok for 5 years.

OK, unplugged the HDMI, got the Gigabyte splash screen on the VGA monitor, but no BIOS screen. Don't know why using the enter button to get into BIOS was mentioned - doesn't work, and the splash screen tells me to use the delete button, which has always worked.
As I don't know what I am looking for, which BIOS settings [monitor?], do I need to reset, or are we talking about the complete BIOS?

not enter
spam the entry key
as in whatever key enables entry to the BIOS.

usually there's nothing related to what you're experiencing in the BIOS.

you could actually just purchase a modern monitor for the system and forget this issue you're having.
