Monitor Booting Issue

Whenever I boot up my PC the monitor will not go on (just stays on standby) until I'm at the windows home screen where I put my password in to access my profile. If I do switch the monitor on during this blackout period I just receive a no signal message.

I cannot access my BIOS as I cannot see it and I have tried this running with sli and only 1 gpu with the same results and I have also made sure through the monitor menu that the input is set correct also.

I'm unsure if this is the correct section to post but I'm at a loss at what I can do.

Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Just a little update.

I connected my PC to the TV as that wont automatically switch itself off when I shut down.

Upon booting up the image on the screen of the tv was not the usual Starting Windows screen but instead it was the Shutting Down screen, after it was finished booting I was then presented with the usual windows home screen where I enter the password to use my profile.
 
I have never updated the BIOS as of yet so will give this a try.

I seem to be having problems with games also with Sniper V2 showing artifacts and Sleeping Dogs Crashing my whole PC within 30 seconds.

This has all came out of the blue.
 
id try latest bios first,then see how things are,maybe a tweak of cpu/vtt voltage

artifacting can be down to gpu memory usually,can look in windows event viewer for warnings/errors to see what it crashed on
 
Artefacts is never a great sign. As suggested try latest bios but something could be Amis with your GPU. What connector are you using for your monitor? Have you tried an alternative cable?
 
Before attempting a BIOS update I've rolled back to previous GPU drivers and it seemed to fix the artifacts but now games won't run in sli, I've reset the BIOS but no change.

I am unsure as to how I am going to update the BIOS as my monitor will not go on until windows has booted up so entering my BIOS and/or using Q-Flash is out of the question.

I will have to continue this in the morning but I'm very p***ed off to say the least.

Cheers for the input anyways.
 
youd need to pull out both gpu's and plug display cable into the motherboard,then use onboard graphics

to safely update bios,download/extract it to usb memory stick,then with it plugged in go into bios and flash through qflash

sli might work better with latest bios idk till you try and see
 
I have the usb stick ready with the Bios update so will try this first thing in the morning. Will leave an update.

Cheers
 
A little update.

Updated the BIOS, a lot easier than I thought and now everything seems to be back to normal.

Had problems with running sli at first and had to swap around the gpu's and some games wouldn't start with sli but now all seems good.

Thanks for the help Wazza.
