I recently bought a new monitor for a three monitor set up ( i have 2 HP W19s and one HP Pavillion 22xi) I couldn't run three monitors on my graphics card at the time, but now i have a GTX 770 and can use all three for a brief period of time. It works fine in two monitor settup, but when i add the second W19 my main monitor ( Pavillion 22xi) starts flickering on and off and shows white artifacts on the screen. it then returns to normal when i deactivate the third monitor.
Back when i had my previous graphics card, i used a Kensington universal multi-display adapter to use a third monitor and this give the same problem. I have my main monitor connected with a DVI to DVI and my second is a Display Port to DVI and then the third is DVI to DVI.
My main monitor is unusable when my third monitor is connected so i would really like to know why this is happening. Thanks in advance.

If you are running them in surround make sure they are all running at the same resolution and have the same refresh rate and also make sure you have updated drivers. You can create a custom profile and change the refresh rate in Nvidia Control Panel. I had 3 1680 monitors in surround but it would act janky because 1 monitor was running at 61hz and the other 3 were 60. It also makes a difference as to which drivers you are using. One set of drivers (can't remember which) wouldnt let me use the custom profile but when I updated them I could.

I have updated all the drivers for the monitors and still have the same problem. all the refresh rates are 60Hz and i run the main monitor in 1920x1080 with the other two in 1440x900.
