The system hangs on boot when three monitors are plugged in

Hi.

I'm trying to run a three-monitors set-up. The two-monitors set-up works without any problems, but when I plug the third monitor, the system hangs on boot with the following messages.

:: running early hook [udev]
Starting systemd-udevd version 255.2-1-arch
:: running hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents...

The set-up itself is the following:

A desktop PC;

Asus P8H77-V LE motherboard;

Intel Core i7-3770K CPU with HD Graphics 4000 integrated VGA;

Two monitors are connected through VGA and DVI ports, the third monitor is connected through the HDMI port by using the DVI to HDMI cable (the monitor itself doesn't have an HDMI port).

What can be the cause of the system hang? Where should I start solving the problem?

Thanks.
