I could be completey mistaken here, but even if you are not running crossfire you have to have to of the same manufacturer cards. I would have to say maybe pick up a newer graphics card that would offer s-video/vga out. I only have a little bit of experience with PCs' so take what I say with a grain of, so as not to get mad if I am completely off base.

I dont think you need two of the same cards. It should at least post becuase its just another add it. Windows should just detect another display adapter.

In your BIOS you have an option to enable disable 2nd PCI-e card and in newer version, you can swap which slot is 1 or 2.

Have you explored this?

i have the newer bios and im not seeing these options. i see an option to have to video cards but it still won't boot with that enabled.
