Title: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 with HD3000: Output defaults to HDMI instead of DVI
Post by: Frown on December 28, 2011, 12:37:20 pm
Build a new computer using the build in HD3000 graphics of the i5-2500K proc.

The monitor (DVI) should be the default display for displaying BIOS, POST etc. However the machine defaults to the HDMI port for this and therefore I do not get anything displayed on my monitor until the OS is loaded. Within the OS I can get my monitor (DVI) as default so that's not a problem.

However I would like my monitor to display the BIOS and POST! I cannot find any option within the BIOS to change the default output port. What are my options?

I have the same problem with GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 and i5-2500K.

  • My monitor is connected to the onboard DVI port.
  • My TV is connected to the onboard HDMI port.

Have you looked at the Advanced BIOS Features in your motherboard manual on pages 48 - 49?

See - Init Display First & Onboard VGA


Hope this helps
