Get a screen with different inputs, so you can wire each rig with different outputs to use one screen.

One DVI, one VGA and one HDMI

Never mind the workarounds people, the PC should still start without a monitor, so there's obviously a problem here.

OP, list your specs which might help us to help you. It could be as simple as a bad video driver, or driver setting.

Try using a viewer like vnc, or teamveiwer. Maybe then u can manage from your phone with successful boot?

Maybe. Some graphics cards are not designed to be "headless" and will halt the boot process if no monitor is detected. In those cases, you typically start the computer with a monitor connected, then disconnect the monitor and the computer will (or should) keep running. But do note it is best to power down before connecting the monitor again. While HDMI and DVI are "hot-swappable", you have to be very careful to align the connectors when inserting so you don't short any pins while inserting. No worries when the computer is off.

You might also check your BIOS and disable the "Halt on all errors" switch. No guarantee this will work on your computer if it is the card doing the halting, but it is worth a try.

What you mean by not boot

Doesn't turn on at all
Windows doesn't make the boot sound
Not ping
No remote access

Maybe the computer is bootingwith the integrated video card and Windows is crashing for some reason.

Buy a dummy plug...

jboydgolfer · Jun 14, 2017

What OP is explaining sounds a lot like what people went through when they were running dedicated physX cards back in 2009+ .... as in the post mentioned above, a dummy plug was required in that situation too.
