    you dont get any signal all the time, or only when you try to turn on pc and bios?

    It sounds to me like the HDMI connection is a bit slower at responding and the POST screen has gone by the time you can see what's going on.

    You could connect up a DVI cable to see which key it is for the BIOS setup. Or just check the manual.

    It's going to be F1 or F2. Probably. Can you cause a POST error to halt boot?
