Hey guys I recently built a new rig and have had no problems so far, but the other week, when I turn on the computer I do not see the standard post screens or even the Windows 7 loading screen. However my computer DOES boot into Windows 7 just fine and everything works as usual. But this is bothering me because if I need to make any changes to the BIOS I can't. Does anyone know how to fix this? To clarify though, computer is not hooked up to a monitor, but to an 32" Toshiba LCD TV. It's been hooked up this way since I built the rig though. Also, i tried connecting the rig to a Viewsonic LCD monitor and the first couple of times there was video just fine, but now THAT doesn't show video either. The monitor also sometimes will go into sleep mode while I'm using it in Windows 7 too. It's all driving me crazy, does anyone know what the cause is?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
No video during boot?

Reset CMOS and see what happens?
Try a different video card?

Often TVs will not show the 640x480-800x600 resolution used by the BIOS / DOS. This is nothing new, and it's a big part of why I never recommend anyone use a TV as a PC monitor. There may be no fix.
