I want to use 3 monitors on my desktop computer. I have Intel 7 Series/ C216 Chipset. The motherboard has a HDMI, DVI, and VGA port. I have added a NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 video card that also has all 3 ports. However, I have tried plugging all 3 monitors into the motheboard and it sees all 3 monitors, but only 2 will work. When I plug all 3 into the video card it is the same thing. Windows7 sees all 3 but only 2 will work. I have tried to plug 2 monitors into the video card and 1 in the mother board, but with the video card in the video on the motherboard stops working. How can I get 3 monitors working at once?
 
Solution
The igpu only supports 2 monitors. The graphics card only supports 2. Go into your bios and look for an igpu multi monitor option, this will allow you to use both.
