Asus P8Z77-V LX2
i5 3570k
32gb ddr3 1600
Corsair AX750 PSU
Windows 7 ult 64
I've put the above together for a VM host machine. No gaming required but could do with 4 screens so to keep costs down I got a used PNY Quadro NVS 440 (pcie x16). Everything went fine til I added the graphics card. Over multiple system restores and reinstalls I've found that the system crashes as soon as both the Asus onboard video drivers and the add on card are installed. Windows update achieves the same too. Prior to the crash device manager will list 2 fully working NVS 440's (which I believe it should).
I've tried not installing the onboard video driver and uninstalling the onboard in device manager before each windows update. This worked smoothly until I tried having a look at the Windows Experience Index. The whole system fell apart again during the scan so I guess things still aren't stable!!
Ideally I'd love someone to point me to a quick fix for this, though i'm suspecting the motherboard and card just don't like each other! Alternatively and possibly more realistically has anyone experience of a 4 output (or 2x 2 output) card that'll work with this board? As I said nothing super-fancy required. The existing screens all have just VGA connectors and funds are running low so I'd rather look at hardware that'll handle them as-is rather than messing round with HDMI, displayport, etc outputs.
