My rig is as follows

2x 4gb DDR3 Corsair Vengeance DDR3
Intel i5 3570K
Asus Maximus V Formula
Sapphire HD 7970 Vapor X (Running Catalyst Drivers 13.1)
Crucial M4 64Gb SSD
Windows 8

Various other Storage drives. To say this has been a temperamental system would be an understatement. On Saturday I did complete format and reinstalled Windows (4 or 5 times) Now after every boot or restart I get a black screen on boot after the system POST's.

If I remove the VGA Card and boot with on board it's fine and in most cases once it's booted from onboard, I can shutdown put VGA card in and it works fine.

I don't think it's the VGA card as it's new. I had the same issue with a Palit GTX 670 Jetstream also.

Any Suggestions ?
 
Can you plug a display into both onboard & discrete at the same time?

I had a similar problem with my p8z77-v. If I set the primary display to AUTO or PCI-E in bios I would get no signal on monitor connected to GTX 670 after booting. Connecting TV to onboard showed Windows 7 login screen merrily waiting for input on the wrong screen.

A couple of workarounds that worked for me (different board, GPU & OS I know but might be worth a try):

Either:
Set primary display in bios to igpu (had the side effect of POST info only being shown on the TV connected to HD4000 - blank screen on monitor until Windows logon screen. BIOS settings had to be changed on the TV).

Or:
Disable HD4000 in Device Manager and set primary display to AUTO or PCI-E. POST info displayed correctly on monitor as is logon screen (side effect no display from HD4000).

How far does it boot? Does it get past the bios splash screen and into the windows loading screen, then black out?

It gets past POST then you get the Windows 8 Logo. It's ready to hand over to Windows log in screen and Boom Black Screen
