ip35 pro cant get bios screen

OK here's the deal.
brand new IP35 Pro board
core2 quad at 2.4
4 GB RAM
9600GT Graphics card ( also tried an older pci gforce)
when I start, the system the codes on the mainboard read:
9.0. - which the book says is - "complete uGuru initial process
AWARDBIOS take over booting job"
the keyboard num lock seems to light on and off but there is nothing I
can see on my screen!!!
I can't get into something I can see. Ah..
I don't have anymore working CRT's at this location. What I have is a
Viewsonic VX2245wm (it has dvi and vga inputs)
I have tried both dvi and the vga (with the adapter for the dvi out on
the graphics card).
Is there anyway past this 'nothingness' view on the screen.
I have waited a few minutes and pressed 'F10' and enter. Hoping that
would save whatever 'default' info the boot sequence found. and still
nothing.
I am getting ready for a hammer
Any help??
Thank you in advance.
