***Update***
Just hooked up a wired keyboard and I still can't access the BIOS. I'm able to access the BOOT using <F11> but after depressing <F2> to access the BIOS, just a blank screen with the blinking underscore cursor.

One time the screen did say checking array after pressing <F2> but then it just got stuck at that screen, and it's been blank every time I've tried after.

Ok, so I inserted the brand new 8400 graphics card and the system automatically disabled the onboard gpu and I'm now using the 8400 graphics card. Whew, that's a relief.

Thank you to all that have tried helping me thus far.

Now I'm concerned that I can't access the BIOS, as I'd like to see if I can still enable to on-board gpu and use both the on-board and newly installed card for multi-monitor purposes.

What's up with not being able to access my bios???!!!

You may be asking too much there, but the 8400 can probably do multi-monitor on its own.

Glad you got it working.
