Can you find some option to force single screen, (your pc may go blank then) just shutdown pc, unplug the VGA cable, and only leave the DVI cable in.


Then reboot?
Or even try to switch the primary display between 1 + 2
In the options it says single display and has the name of my TFT not the crt. I dont see anything to switch between vga and digital.

If you do see post when just using dvi you should be able to boot to safe mode
I cant see anything when just connected via dvi.
