My GPU was working fine but would occasionally cut out so I had to plug the HDMI out and back in for it to work.

Now my PC only boots when a GPU isn't installed but I get no display. If I try plug in the GPU again it will boot for a little while.

Specs:
GPU MSI GTX 980 4GB
CPU. RYZEN 5 1600x
MOBO. Ab350 Gaming
Ram CORSAIR Vengeance 2x 8GB
PSU. CORSAIR CX600M
 
Solution
Try a DisplayPort cable or putting your RAMs in different slots. If that doesn' work, try a different GPU (Family members or friends) and if they don't have any try your PCIe x4 slot
Since how long has the GPU worked on this system ? Do you have the latest system BIOS ? Try to clear/reset all the CMOS/BIOS settings to default values, and then try again.

Can you boot your PC by using the Integrated Graphics Processor ?
