Hi all,
Could someone clarify. I am trying to run 2 Acer monitors (1 by VGA, 1 by DVI) and then HDMI to my tv. I have a MSi H67MS-E33 motherboard that has all of the connections (DVI/VGA/HDMI). What happens though is when I have my VGA plugged in with my HDMI, then when I try plugging in my DVI, it shows no signal. If i disconnect my HDMI DVI pops up just fine. Is my onboard graphics of my i3 2100 not able to handle all three monitors?

Essentially, for daily use, i'd like to run the two Acer monitors, then for watching movies, i'd throw the movie onto the TV window.

Am I going about this wrong or is it just not capable. I know that getting a dedicated graphics card would be great, but at this moment I am not looking for one.

Looking at Intel's info for your CPU:

It only supports up to 2 displays at once.
