i'm currently trying to set up a triple monitor system with windows XP:
i've got 2 monitors (lcd/crt) hooked up to my geforce4 ti4400(agp)and that works without a hitch...
but it's my 3rd monitor that's hooked up to the geforce4 mx420 (pci) that's giving me problems
now, i have my bios set up with my PCI as primary display and i'll boot up in winXP... all three monitors are working, great right??
the minute i reboot, i lose my 3rd monitor, windows doesn't even see the pci card, my device manager only detects geforce4 ti4400
i figured there was an irq conflict so i switched pci slots... i boot up, XP detects the pci card and everything is working once again...
but when i reboot again and i lose the 3rd monitor...
again, the pci card isn't even listed in the device manager after reboot
so far i've used every pci slot and i get the same thing everytime after i reboot...
any ideas or suggestions??
maybe the pci card is bad?? or could it be my motherboard (MSI kt266a pro)?? btw, i updated and flashed my bios just in case it was that... apparently not
any input is appreciated
