Hello my favorite motherboard company.Have to say that i own asrock motherboards since 2004, never crashed or had any problems with them.
But recently i bought the Asrock 880G PRO3 , which runs great.
The only thing that bothers me is that cannot enter the UEFI BIOS setup if my VGA cable from the monitor is plugged in the vga card ( in onboard or PCI-E video, its the same).When i press the power button, i see the text "press F11 for boot menu, press F2 to enter SETUP" and when i press setup, on my screen i see the letters "AB" in the bottom right corner of the screen, my mouse and that is it.Rest of the screen is black.The system is frozen.I cannot move my mouse or do anything with the keyboard, I can only push the reset button to reset the PC.The only way i found to enter my UEFI Setup is this :
1.Unplug the VGA cable from the motherboard (the blue one which connects my Monitor with my graphics card, onboard or not), start the PC, press F2 rapidly for 5 seconds, plug back the VGA cable back in, and on my monitor i see the UEFI setup up and working.Other than that if i let the system boot without pressing F2, it boots normally to my windows7 desktop.
My monitor is 17'' Dell CRT.
Here is a list of things i have tried to solve the problem on my own:
1.Flashing the bios to p1.30 - no effect.
2.Testing with other monitors ( newer LCD models ) - same problem.
3.Tweaked and tested with all possible UEFI setting related to displays( primary graphics adapter, only PCI-E plugged in or only using only onboard VGA etc...) no effect.
4.Reseting CMOS - no effect.
5.Cursing - no effect.
That's about it.
I will greatly appreciate the suport from you guys.
Help?
