I have an AMD Radeon HD 7770 that doesn't cooperate with a 3rd monitor well. If I enable onboard graphics in the BIOS, can I use the third monitor with the onboard graphics. I don't plan to do any gaming on that monitor. Just an extra monitor to put stuff on.

Simple, no. It's one or the other.

Okay just wondering because I DID get it working before. One time though. Very finnicky. I was just wondering if I could do this again and how because all I did was restart my PC.

You need to connect all monitors to the graphics card and disable the on-board graphics.

The normal mode of operation is to use one or the other. Why it worked as you said I don't know!

Oh. Okay. Find it rather odd that it worked though.
