Default MX400, No Boot at all on DVI, fine on analog

I have a Asus Terminator 2 that I put a Rosewill MX400 card in so that
I could get a DVI connection to a Iiyama Prolite 17" monitor.

Connect it analog and it works fine. Connect it DVI and the computer
will not boot, literally.

I get the Asus splash screen, then when it should start to load XP it
just hangs there and I get nothing, no HD activity, nothing.

If I unplug the DVI cable, let the computer boot until I see the HD
light going, then plug back in the DVI cable I end up with video once
it reaches the desktop.

Tried 2 different DVI cables that work fine on other systems.

Asus Terminator 2(the cheaper one w/ out radio)
Celeron 'D' 2.4 Ghz.
256 meg Corsair PC3200 DDR
Rosewill MX400 AGP Card
Lite On 52X CD RW
Iilyama 17" Pro Lite Monitor

No OC'ing, nothing out of the ordinary.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not 100% sure of this, but I'm pretty sure I remember someone having
problems with the PC not booting without a monitor attatched (to standard
VGA).
Solution was to change the "Halt on" (usually "all errors") setting in the
BIOS, usually on the "Standard" settings page where you configure the IDE
devices/Floppy drives & system time.
I can't remember the setting, but if you go in to BIOS and cycle through the
options it should be fairly self explanitory.
