H87N-WIFI - 3 Screen Problem

H87N-WIFI - 3 Screen Problem
« on: October 10, 2015, 04:04:50 pm »
Hi,

I recently built a new PC, with a Gigabyte H87N-WIFI, (Core i3, Intel 4600 Graphics). I used 2 screens fine, but recently I decided to move to 3. As you may know, this motherboard has 1x DVI, 2x HDMI. I was previously using one of the HDMI, and the DVI. When I plugged in the 3rd screen (HDMI) one of the screens shut off and the new one worked. This continued as I unplugged and plugged in different ones.

Please help!
Scott

PS these are my screens in case necessary:

 - DVI, 1920x1080 display
 - HDMI, 1920x1080 display *New Display*
 - HDMI, Connects to HDMI to VGA converter then to 1024x768

According to the specifications for your motherboard the following applies:
To set up a triple-display configuration, you must connect a D-Sub monitor using a DVI-to-D-Sub adapter.

Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.
