That was my thinking, I can't see why two monitors will run fine when only one card is installed and one is connected to the VGA port and the other to the DVI, but when I add the second card it doesn't work.
Ok with only one monitor connected to one card by DVI and the other monitor by DVI to the other card does that out two displays? If it does then try two monitors one on each card by VGA.
That is a good question. I will have to try it. This is my work machine and I have to wait until the weekend to put the other motherboard back in it to try it. I ordered two HDMI to DVI cables so I will try that also.
I am seriously thinking that this is a good time for a processor upgrade as well. I am thinking since I have to go through all the trouble of reloading windows and all my programs, it is a good time to upgrade to a core i5 750. If I do that I would prefer to stick with a Gigabyte motherboard, the one I would probably get is GA-P55A-UD4P, just not sure if I will run in to the same problem with the new board or should I consider another brand board.
I will try setting it back up this weekend to test one monitor on each card. Peteruk may be on to something, Windows showed that monitors 1 and 3 were the ones getting a signal, maybe they were each being fed by a different card.
My other machine only has one PCIe slot so I can't try the setup in that one.
