Z77-DS3H F9 BIOS inaccessible when using DVI port

[Oceanotti]

Hi all:

I cannot access the BIOS setup when I plug a screen to the DVI port. Even though I strike <DEL> key repeatedly, all I get is a hung computer with a blank screen. Otherwise, if I only use the VGA port to plug a screen, everything is fine. As I wish to use dual monitors, this issue is a bother and on top of that I worry that anything else, worse than the detected issue, might happen and jeopardizes my work.

Please tell me if anybody else experienced this issue, or if you are able to access BIOS using DVI port without trouble. Maybe my BIOS setup is faulty and I would like to repair it. Thanks in advance.

you may update to f10f to check.
i think dvi may have shorter boot up time.
you may press del more quickly while boot up.

Thank you for your suggestion. Anyway, as I am a newbie and I need my computer to be operative at all time for my business, I think I will wait until f10 evolves from beta phase.

You are right, DVI presents a faster welcome screen and seems to boot up quicker. Nevertheless, I strike <DEL> as quickly as anybody I have seen and I do it many times, before and after the beep signaling that BIOS is active.

I am at a loss with this issue.
