Right now I have 3 monitors plugged into my video card I'm trying to add a fourth monitor by plugging it into the motherboard. I've done this in the past without any problems but before I didn't have the multi monitor stand I have now to actually have decent desk space.

I tried plugging in my fourth monitor into the motherboard, which there is no other monitor plugged into. and I'm not even getting that sound you hear when you plug a monitor in, no detection whatsoever, and I'm trying VGA and HDMI and neither seem to want to work. I even tested DVI with one of my known working cables and monitors and no video port on the mobo seems to work.

I figured it might be a drivers issue so I went to the ASRock website for my motherboard[1] and I downloaded the VGA driver, and when I went to install it, I received the error "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software."

I have the original drivers on a disc but I don't want to have to re-install them all if I don't need to. Does anyone know what I can do to fix my issue?

My specs are:
i5 3470 @ 3.8
ASRock Z77 Extreme4
Sapphire HD 7950 3gb
8GB RAM
Windows 7 64 bit

So far I have tried going into UEFI to the northbridge configuration however there is no iGPU multimonitor settings. https://i.imgur.com/nF0vaow.jpg , I then realized I did not have LucidLogix so I downloaded that, restarted it, shut it down, then went into UEFI again, and still no iGPU settings.

I then tried to update my Intel Graphics by first having my computer detect which drivers are for my computer, then I tried to download those said drivers, even other Intel drivers recommended to me by others, and every time, I still get the same error message "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"

I don't know what to do, any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

"So far I have tried going into UEFI to the northbridge configuration however there is no iGPU multimonitor settings."

Did you have (1) screen plugged into the motherboard video output at this time?

If you didn't try it again and you should have the option to select one or the other, or both.
