Hey guys,
When I power on my A75m-ITX // A6-3500 build, the screen is blank until Windows loads.
I can get into bios etc, by pressing DEL, but I can't see anything...
No splash screens etc
On a previous install of Win 7 I had been messing around with changing the boot screen. Now I can't get anything to show up, after reformating and a clean install...
Please help!
Owen

Sounds like you may have disabled the splash screen in the bios settings and/or enabled fast boot. I would take a look at both of those settings.

You can also set the Bios to Factory Setting. This would undo changes that you're unsure about.

Splash Screen is enabled in BIOS.
I'm not finding any info about how to enable/disable FASTBOOT on my system...

You might have selected No Gui Boot during bootup. You can find it in Windows 7 by presss START-->type MSCONFIG in search box-->press BOOT and un-check No Gui Boot/reboot PC.....

So after speaking with ASRock tech support, they said that they CAN replace the motherboard if I want, but that this is an isolated issue and not the sign of any other problems.
Sometimes their boards don't like outputting the splash screen over HDMI to TV Displays...
Thoughts on whether I should replace?

I am running 3 ASrock boards and they all show the bios splash screen over HDMI.
