I need some help friends
My PC won't boot unless the DVI cable which is usually plugged into my second monitor is plugged into the motherboard. If it's just my primary monitor plugged into my GPU the PC powers on but doesn't get a boot beep
It boots and works seemingly fine so far when I have the second monitor plugged into the mobo, primary monitor plugged into GPU, and displays as normal on my primary monitor, but still nothing on secondary monitor and it doesn't show up in screen resolution settings.
It's driving me mental, any advice appreciated

Does your video card have a fan on it? Is it spinning?
Try another PCIe slot if you have one.
Hopefully it's an old card if it's dying.

fans on the GPU are working and it's showing up in speccy and device manager
i don't have another PCIe slot
it's a 780

also, i don't think it's a GPU issue. Everything seems to be working perfectly fine besides the scare I got from

It just means I can't use my second monitor without first booting with it plugged into the mobo then swapping it to the GPU, and it's making me paranoid as fuck that my mobo or something is just going to go kaput any minute
If you're not seeing anything on second monitor -
Does your second monitor work ok if used as primary?
Update: turned off PC, removes DVI from integrated and plugged into the DVI port on GPU - no boot
Unplugged the DVI cable entirely so only my main monitor was plugged in via HDMI, and it boots.
basically, PC only seems to boot when there isn't a DVI cable plugged into the GPU. What the fuck?

It was working when I used it to get into system repair the first time the computer wouldn't post-boot, but now doesn't work at all when plugged in via the mobo and plugging it into the GPU made my PC hard crash when I tried to extend display in screen resolution options and wouldn't boot until I unplugged it
