I recently upgraded from an AOC C27G1 to an AOC 27G2. Previously I was running the monitor on a DP cable to enable freesync on my GTX 1070. After upgrading and still running on the DP cable to have G-SYNC compatibility on my new monitor, I have been unable to access the BIOS.

If I switch from a DP to an HDMI cable, then I am able to access the BIOS. When the DP cable is plugged in, the monitor just stays black and/or displays the "no signal" message until it reaches the point where I need to enter my pin to enter windows. It's as if it bypasses the part where I need to enter delete or F2 to access the BIOS. Even if I tap these keys, it does nothing and goes straight to the part where I need to enter my pin to access windows.

I have been googling solutions with no success. All drivers and BIOS is up to date.

As stated, this problem started occuring once I plugged in my new monitor.

Any advice?
 
I had/have the same issue with my LC24FG. Try "turning on" the monitor by pressing the monitors power button and then changing the input device to DP and thereafter immediately switch on the PC.
