I just recently purchased a new motherboard and was reading the manual online and wanted to try out the multi monitor option, so far ive done everything that the manual says to do I went into bios and enabled shared memory for the on-board so it doesn't disable have the drivers installed for both my video cards and for some reason windows keeps stopping my on-board video it all shows up in Device Manager. Any idea why it wont let me use the Multi Monitor when my motherboard is supposed to support it?

System specs which are kinda old since I stopped online gaming for about 4 years:

Motherboard: ASrock 960GC-GS FX

CPU: AMD Athlon 64X2 5800+

RAM: 2X2GB Avant<--- Cheap but good Ram

HHD: Seagate 1TB 7200rpm

GPU: PNY GTX 260 core 216

PSU: BFG-Tech 550watt

Displays: Hanns-G Hi221D + 2x Acer P201W

AMD (onboard GPU) and Nvidia (discrete)

Pull the Nvidia, default the MoBo Bios, boot up, plug one monitor into the DVI and one to whatever you have... Is the second detected?

Ive already pulled the Nvidia card booted installed drivers for my on-board ATI integrated, both are detected in Device manager but one has a triangle on it with an error 43 I tried to remove drivers completely for both cards and still nothing my Nvidia card works fine just not my onboard

well I had it installed in my other motherboard that I switched everything over from and it worked just fine with my MSI K9N6SGM-V motherboard with the NVidia 430 chipset I used the same GTX 260 and the onboard on that one just fine until I got the AMD chipset
