When i turn my computer on and attempt to acces the BIOS settings, the screen flashes, as if it is in the wrong resolution for the monitor. My computer will boot into windows succesfully. Im using a BFG 8800GT OC2 and a toshibe 32" HDTV, if that makes any difference. Any help woud be much appreciated.

Have you tried hooking it up to a normal PC Monitor ?

is your computer self built, or is it a dell or similar idea?

It is a packard bell with a new graphics card and PSU.
I do not have a standard TFT to test the system unfortunatly. thank you both for helping me once again. |

Hmm, well for starters I wouldn't put it past computer manufacturers from preventing you from accessing the Bios, but as philthomas said, are you using the correct key to try to enter the bios? what key are you using? On most (all that I have come across) motherboards it is the del key to enter the bios.

Wen the computer boots, i get a packard bell splash screen and on it it says to access the bios press F2, so that is what i am doing. I have just tried the DEL key, and the computer boots into windows.

Hmm, that's strange, so, when you press F2, it tries to enter the bios, but flickers like it's the wrong res, then what does it do? does it restart the computer, or do you restart it?
