Is the igpu enabled in bios. The default setting is auto and auto disables the igpu when a dedicated card is installed, so you'll need to change it to enabled. The option is in the chipset section of the bios.
Likely still detecting displays and post finishes before the display kicks in. If you need to enter the bios watch the keyboard and after the lock leds flash(caps, num, scroll) tap the Delete key to enter bios or f12 for the boot menu.
