Hello,
I bought an extra gpu to start litecoin mining (no questions please about mining I am only doing it for the fun of it) which is the XFX 7850 core edition, and when it is in any of the pci 16 slots, it freezes and the mouse gets stuck in the middle of the screen when I plug in the VGA dummy plug. The dummy plug has been set up correctly and the graphics card is in correctly and i have installed and un installed the drivers countless times, what gives?

Specs
Main gpu: NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB
cpu: AMD FX 6300
second gpu: XFX 7850 core edition 2GB
RAM:corsair vengeance 8 GB
psu: 750w corsair
Hardrive: SSD
mobo: asrock aa990-11c

Also, when it freezes, I will turn the pc off, back on, and monitor plugged into gtx 660 wont come on. So I turn it off again, remove the 7850, turn on, and pc works again.
