I had 2 drives that were both boot able (a SSD and a HDD) and while i was on my SSD i tried to use three ports on my radeon 7850. On the graphics card i have DP, HDMI, and 2x DVI. I have been using a HDMI cord to go from HDMI -> HDMI and a converted cord to go from DVI -> HDMI. Just recently i got a DP -> HDMI and when i switched that with the HDMI -> HDMI i was fine. Then i used the DVI -> VGA for a third monitor and upon pressing detect windows flashed a blue screen saying like "Error, if this is your first time seeing this then ..." i could not see for long. Then the computer crashed. Upon starting it back up it went to the normal 4 colors with a black screen. Shortly after i saw another blue screen so short that on 1/8 speed slow motion I saw 1 frame saying "a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer". Whenever i try to use the SSD as boot it turns on, gets to loading screen, flashes blue screen, restarts, goes to system repair, and finally says "Windows cant detect the problem". I'm currently on the HDD right now and it boots and works normally so i know that its not a problem with the RAM or Mobo. It may be a problem with the adapters but i don't want to gamble it with the only boot i have left. i know i could have used a HDMI -> HDMI but changing the cables the way i did just for testing was much more convenient. Also i wanted to use a DP cable to try eyefiniy.

Short version: all is good till i try to use 3 monitors. With a DP -> HDMI ,DVI -> HDMI and DVI -> VGA. after trying to detect all 3 monitors the drive crashes and wont boot up anymore.

Thanks to anyone who read all this and again to whoever can help me with a solution.
