Title: GA-G41M-ES2H boot to HDMI
Post by: billkater on February 12, 2011, 08:58:30 pm

I have my system set up with the HDMI out going to a TV to watch movies on. When I reboot my computer it post on the tv (HDMI) instead of the monitor (DVI). How can I change this?

Thanks

Bill

I am afraid that as far as I know Pierre is right and the only way to force the boot display onto the monitor is to disconnect the HDMI cable.

I sat down with the book last night and read it from front to back (motherboard manual).

On page #20 at the very top it reads,

"In addition, under this configuration, the BIOS Setup and POST screens can only be output from the HDMI port."

This is in reference to having both DVI and HDMI both hooked up at the same time during boot up.

Goes to show, if all else fails. Read the MANUAL.
