Depends on BIOS manufacturer... This may help.

Thanks! I saw that article. I have an ECS elitegroup A55F2-M4. Cheap, I know, but that's what I was going for.

Just did some quick googleing  and it may be floppy or Diplay memory..

 

If you are comfortable doing this and have a floppy disconnect and try.

 

Also if you can try a spare video card.. Try that. 

 

Hoping manual would be helpful but wasn't too much http://download.ecs.com.tw/dlfileecs/manual/mb/A55F2-M4/Simple%20Manual%20A55F2-M4%20V1.0%20LOW.PDF
