VGA not detected at boot ProArt Z790 (one long beep, 3 short beeps)

Hi,

Looking for guidance.  I have a ProArt Z790 with i9-12900k, and a Nvidia Geforce GPU.  The i9 internal QuickSync GPU is enabled via the BIOS (for Premiere Pro) in addition to the Nvidia GPU.  I have two monitors hooked up to the Nvidia card via DisplayPort connectors.

Upon boot, I get blank screens with 1 long beep followed by 3 short beeps indicating VGA not present.  After about 15-30 seconds my displays become active and all is good in Windows 11. 

The problem is I can't get into the BIOS, at least not with seeing the BIOS screens on the monitor.  When building the PC on a bench I had a monitor hooked up to the VGA port on the Nvidia to get things configured in the BIOS. But the permanent installtion is as described above with 2 DisplayPort monitors.

Any ideas of how to enable video output during boot in this configuration?

Problem solved.  Need to update the firmware on the Graphics card.  Now, DisplayPort output is showing BIOS boot screens and no VGA not available beep sequence.
