Is it possible to boot without GPU and integrated graphics?
I'm using MSI mobo p67a-gd65 + Intel i7 2600k and would like to boot the PC without a GPU and connect to it remotely when it boots into windows.

so this PC would be on a remote location without display and GPU connected.

I don't think Windows will complete the boot without a display device. If you were using Linux or VMWare ESX you might have better luck. You could always run Windows in a VM.

Intel CPUs tend to have integrated graphics, and that motherboard should be fine. Put a decent sandybridge/ivybridge cpu in there and you're ready to go without the need of a GPU! Just don't bother downloading/playing games that are 3D.

You can find cheap used sandy bridge cpus such as the 2400 or even 2500K for less if not a lot less than £70 or about $90 on ebay. You can go even lower but wont get a nice experience.

A decent Ivy bridge would be upwards of $100/£

Forgot to add that the system doesn't have integrate graphic solution.
I've read online that I should disable POST errors in bios but cannot find it anywhere
