I have an 8600GT board (Gigabyte gv-nx86t256h). It works fine with my Dell 2407WFP as the only monitor. When I plug in a monitor into the second video connector, Windows XP (SP3) crashes when booting. The crash is a fraction of second of blue-screen, then resets back to POST and BIOS startup. The crash occurs after the XP logo screen has displayed, but before the desktop appears.
I am running the latest drivers from the Gigabyte site for this card (163.71). I also tried loading the generic NVidia drivers 182.06, but it did not solve the problem.
I have tried connecting the second monitor with a direct DVI cable, or using a DVI-VGA adapter at the video card and the VGA input on the secondary monitor (Acer X193W+BD). I get the crash either way.
Anybody have any ideas how to solve this?
