Windows 10: Monitor starts after lock screen appears

Hi, I've recently bought Aorus RX 580 8GB XTR, but i have asus vh228d monitor which only have VGA in. And my new gpu doesn't have VGA out so i bought AKASA Display port to vga reduction so i can use my old monitor. Problem is that when boot sequence is happening the monitor is off, it start with the windows, when lock screen appears. I assume when the gpu driver starts. It's really anoying because i want to tweak settings in bios and i can't now. Can i do something to force my gpu showing me boot sequence/bios?

:)

 

Lost tiles on startup menu following OS update.

What screen are you talking about? Is this the first screen that appears when you start the computer (Lock screen) or is it the one that appears after sign-in (Desktop)?

 

No screen picture does not appear -- just black

Hi,

When computer is in sleep mode or screen times out, the monitor is just black.

I have verified my Lock Screen background with windows key + L. It is the one I selected.

At the command prompt I entered the following command: sfc/scannow. There were no integrity violations.

I don't know how to make the lock screen appear. I thought it would appear after screen timeout or during computer sleep mode.

Thanks,

Tammy

 

Hi gh0st67. Welcome to the Tenforums @gh0st67

What were you using before the RX 580? Were you using the onboard graphics.

If so I'm wondering if you have to reconnect and disable the onboard and then connect to the new card.

Now I said I'm wondering, I don't want to see you with no graphics so please see if some other members have a suggestion.

I've been using MSI AMD R9 380 2GB Armor 2X, so no i haven't been using onboard gpu.

 

Long shot.

Did you refresh your BIOS when you changed video cards. If you customized please ensure you document changes, actual document all settings, and they restore defaults. Only do this is you are comfortable with the BIOS, lots of people aren't and can get into a real mess.

I don't really understand what are you trying to say. I did not reset bios when I changed video cards. I am comfortable with the BIOS but don't know what are you asking me to do in it.

 

Sorry. I was suggesting loading defaults. Allow BIOS to re-see card.

Ken

 

How exactly? *Biggrin sorry

 

There are three methods depending on machine. Remove CMOS battery, jumper CMOS reset pins and load defalts in BIOS.

Different BIOS have differnet processes. Once inside BIOS you will have to search around. Some are a simple F9, save and exit.

Some are on a panel and you select.

If you go battery route just be careful and when re-inserting get the polarity right.

Look up your manual online, it will document process.

You want me to reset bios/cmos right? Because i don't know what "Allow BIOS to re-see card" means. *Biggrin

 

Sorry for language. Yes I was think that if your reset Bios the card would be re-detected.

it could also be that the display port to VGA converter doesn't support/Like the resolution that the bios and boot screen uses....
