    Weird problem in my Alienware with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 with 2G B GDDR5. If I connect hdmi to the graphics card computer bootloops. Cannot even get to bios.

    If I connect hdmi to intel hdmi graphics port above it boots and works fine. If I then connect to Nvidia card it also works fine so it isn't the card. I've installed all the latest windows and nvidia updates.

    Just weird.

    Are you on latest BIOS?

    I haven;t experienced this.

    Also try doing a clean install of the nVidia drivers.
