Hi everyone and thanks for your help. I have recently built a new system with a Asus P8Z68-V motherboard and a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 660ti graphics card. When I first built it it was fine with two displays except windows 7 had trouble booting due to some silly error by me. I then did a clean install again and then for some reason my display would either show the boot screen or windows depending on which port on the graphics card I used. I thought this might have been caused by having two displays connected at once while windows 7 was installed, which Iam not sure I did, so I once again reinstalled a clean version of windows 7 with only my primary display connected.

Still the same problem happens. I can connect my display to one dvi connection on the graphics and I will see the boot sequence but then the display will go to sleep when windows starts or I can connect to the other dvi connection and the screen will not turn on until windows is loaded. This happens while only using one display. If I use two then one will display bios then turn off while the other turns on at windows. If I change the connections around then the screens will do the opposite so it is not the screens but the graphics card ports.

Today I used a different screen I have by its self connect up with a hdmi connection. Once again only windows displayed. I have tried different bios settings to no avail. There are not many options for the graphics.

Playing games is also glitchy as the screen goes dark every now and then for a little while. Some times this error message appears 'display driver nvidia windows kernel mode driver version 320.49 stopped responding'. This still happens after I upgraded past driver version 320.49 but I have not seen that error message yet since. I was thinking maybe I need to increase the ram from 8 to 16 gig. I am sorry for the long message but it is really annoying me. Thanks again for your help.

I just tried it with my old 470 GTX card and it worked fine. Seems to be a problem with Gigabyte Geforce GTX 660ti graphics card.
