Monitor Blank, unable to get into BIOS.

I have an interesting problem...

Use to work fine before ... Using a run of the mill 47" LCD flat panel 1080P TV HDMI cable ... Connected to a AMD, HD777 card.

Mostly just surf the web. I set it up and got into the BIOS, just fine when it was new. Whenever I restart my computer, I don't get any POST info and I know if I hit the f11 key that will get me into bios setup...

But, all I get is a blank screen ... The LCD comes alive when the windows 7 splash screen starts to load.

I'm thinking something got changed in the catalyst... or maybe a new setting to always output to HDMI somehow?

Would be nice to get back into BIOS. Could be the card tho, it's getting kinda old. Time for an upgrade anyway.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.
 
Are you using a wireless keyboard? Try a wired one if you can.

Absolutely sure that f11 is the key for getting to the bios? Try del or f1 or f2.

Got another monitor available that you can use, or a HDMI/dvi adapter?
 
Could this be an issue with UEFI? When I boot up a UEFI motherboard with a video card that doesn't support UEFI, the same thing happens that you describe. If I use that very same video card on an older (non-UEFI, standard) motherboard, then I can see the text BIOS info prior to windows loading.

Did you change any motherboard options to switch from legacy to UEFI?
