I have a gtx650 nvidia gpu. I'm running windows 8 and currently have two monitors hooked up, one to each of the DVI outputs. Nvidia claims I can hook up a third monitor via the remaining mini HDMI output. Yet when I run a cord from the HDMI to my reciever with HDMI inputs which run to my tv nothing shows on the screen. Unplugging the second dvi input and and leaving the hdmi plugged in solves the problem, showing picture on the tv like it's the second screen, but doesn't solve my three monitor. I can't seem to find anything on the forum or anywhere else to help me solve my specific problem so if anyone can direct me to a post or could help me solve the problem it would be appreciated.

do you have a igpu? You can plug the two monitors in the dgpu and plug the last monitor into the igpu.
My igpu doesn't have an HDMI output, which is what I want the third monitor to be. It might work to plug my tv in as the second and have my other monitor as the third but i feel like using that layout would be really awkward. My two monitors are on my desk and my TV is behind me as it is part of my home theater in my room.

Yes I did. I read on another site the problem might be I need a bigger power supply. Right now mine is 500 watts. Could that be the problem, I seem to really doubt that would help. Obviously it always MIGHT solve the problem but is it worth upgrading my power supply or does the problem lie somewhere else?

No the PSU wouldn't, plus that is enough watts to drive a gtx 650. If it was the psu then you would be getting severe throttling and flickering and frame rate issues.
Are you 100% sure you can run 3 monitors with that gpu?
