I usually ran my PC with the GPU connected via HDMI, but I had to remove it. My motherboard supports VGA, so I linked it to the monitor. When I spin it for about three seconds and then restart, it keeps doing the same thing. RAM and SSD are all fine, everything works normally, but removing the graphics card causes my PC to stop responding?

What processor do you have? If the CPU lacks an integrated graphics unit and you've taken out the graphics card, the system won't boot because it can't recognize a VGA port.

I took out the RAM and CMOS battery for five minutes, now it keeps spinning but there’s no video. I suspect the issue isn’t the cable—since I just bought it today—and it’s a Pentium G4560 with HD graphics. I have no idea what to do next.

It's not VGA, it's DVI. I got mixed up.

Could require enabling it in the BIOS settings.

If no video appears, checking the CMOS battery might help, but if that didn’t work, try other troubleshooting steps.

Does your processor include an integrated graphics unit? If not, you'll likely require a separate dedicated GPU. ~Note: The Pentium g4560 was referenced earlier. Typically, the built-in graphics should function without issues when no separate GPU is present. But if it was turned off in the BIOS, you might need a temporary dedicated GPU to access BIOS settings, or you could attempt resetting the CMOS settings so it reverts to standard defaults.

Nothing functioned properly, but it should work within two weeks.
