has anyone had experience with a motherboard not operating unless a VGA monitor connection is made?
i have a VIA pico-itx sized board that i want to run without keyboard, mouse, and monitor. if i plug in the monitor, everything works great. i unplug the monitor and the board shuts down.
i examined the BIOS and have the "headless" option set to enabled, but that doesn't help.
any ideas? thanks.
