Hi my MoBo has an onboard video display so obviously I don't need a video card. The problem is if I pull out the GPU my PC only powers on for a second or two then shuts off.

The reason I want to skip the GPU is because the PC was recently cleaned with DBAN and I am not getting a signal from the GPU to the monitor via a dvi cable. I want to use the Mobo's vga output instead with the hopes of getting a signal. I can't get to the BIOS (or if I am I can't see anything lol )so I can't make the Mobo's video boot first.
