Hey guys, I've been using dual monitors for a while now and everything has been working great. This morning however I was scrapping an old PC and found a DVI adapter card, this one to be exact: http://

I decided to stick it in my custom PC and hook up a third monitor I had sitting around.

First of all, I had a 7870 that I was using but it died last month so it's in for an RMA right now. I am using a friends 650TI for the time being. My monitors are both DVI currently and work fine with the 2 DVI ports in the card.

The third monitor is also DVI so I plugged the adapter from the other computer into mine in the PCI E slot and plugged the monitor in and booted up my computer. However nothing was being detected in device manager or my computer anywhere. I also couldn't find any drivers anywhere.

I just need to know what to do from here. Thanks!

Did you uninstall the catalyst drivers using AMDs Uninstall Utility? Also, did you install the correct drivers for the new card?

Lastly, have you restarted your system since you connected your last monitor?

BTW, what is the exact model of your GPU? You may need to obtain a HDMI/DP to DVI adapter to directly connect your 3rd screen (you don't need an active adapter for nVidia cards) to your GPU instead of using this add-on card.
