No bios details on bootup

[cupajava]

I loaded MCE 2005 on a little while ago and didn't have a problem accessing the bios after the install. Suddenly, my monitor isn't being initialized until the Windows logon screen appears and I no longer can view or enter the bios details during the bootup process. The pc seems run fine once Windows loads up. I just can't get into the bios anymore. Anyone heard of this problem before?

I had this problem on a SFF build. The BIOS info wouldn't show up if I was using the DVI connector. I had to plug into the DB15 connector to see the bootup screen. This was with a Chaintech GF5900XT video card. I tried another video card and everything worked fine.

use the slow bootup option in the bios

Are you saying you can no longer get into the BIOS or you are just not seeing the BIOS entry info?

Both. I can't see the bios detials like I use to and when I do hit delete, the pc may be going into the bios but the screen remains in hibernate mode. The screen only initializes when the Windows logo gets displayed.

Some LCDs have a problem where they can't show the motherboard's video mode in DVI unless the video card scales it.
