My system uses 3 Asus 144hz monitors in SLI config. DVI cables for each monitor. 2 on the 1st card, and one on the second card.
I then also plug in a 60hz Acer monitor into card #1's HDMI slot - and if I do this after windows boots, everything is just peachy. No problems, no issues.
However, If I go to restart the system, or start it cold, the system starts up, the center of the 3 monitors lights up, the 4th monitor get's the windows "boot" image and all is normal.
However, when it reaches that point when normally I have the windows 8.1 login screen with, all screens go dark except for the center of the 3 monitors, and it displays my default background color (orange in my case) - and I can't click or see a mouse, login screen or anything else.
After 15-20 seconds, that screen goes dark, and then lights back up with a black background.
I then have to unplug the 4th monitor, hit the reset button, boot the system (all is normal), login to windows, and then manually plug in the 4th monitor, and like I said above, all is peachy!
Any ideas why the 4 monitor setup won't boot properly?
System Specs:
windows 8.1
MSI X79A-GD45 Plus
64GB Ram
2 SSD's (one for boot, one for games)
2 1TB+ HD's for other storage of non speed essential data.
2 780 TI EVGA video cards
1 CD Rom Drive
1050 Watt Power Supply
Acer H243H Monitor (HDI Cable)
3 Asus VG248QE monitors (DVI Cables)
Anyone else seen this issue?
Thank you,
Kevin
