Video card clusterf***

[Mrcandyman83]

I have three crt's set up in my office. Two are working fine using a radeon AGP and an older VGA/PCI card. I would like to add a third. I have yet another VGA/PCI card and I was wondering if it was possible to run two PCI's and one AGP on one system to support three monitors. (i would like to avoid purchasing a new dual output card.)The third card is recognized by the OS under device manager. It also shows a third screen in the display setting tab. the prob is in device manager it has the yellow exclamation point over the third card. it says device cannot start (Code 10). I had this same problem after installing the first PCI which I resolved by changing the BIOS to PCI/AGP for the initilization. I am now at a loss i cant find any other bios settings to correct the problem. it think it might be an IRQ problem but i am not educated in that field Any suggestions?

Try a different slot for the second PCI card. Some slots share IRQ's and can cause a conflict.



Hope this helps!
