I recently bought a PCI 8400 GS. I have an existing PCI Express 16x GTS 250, which currently drives both my monitors. I want to use the PCI 8400 GS to add a third monitor.
My problem begins after I installed the 8400. If I left that device bus enabled, neither card would work and Windows would default to a default VGA driver. If I disabled the PCI slot, my 250 would kick in properly and all would work well. I believe that I have an I/O or IRQ conflict since, well, it tells me so. Both of the device slots say "Code 12: Insufficient free resources to run this device". Any idea on how to fix this? I know that I've seen people run mismatched cards.
Things I've tried:
- Uninstalled nvidia drivers.
- Reinstalled nvidia drivers. Did not work since the installer could not see the cards, just the slots.
- Disabled PCI slot (in device manager). Made the 250 work, but the 8400 was disabled.
- Set PCI as primary video driver in BIOS
- Set PCI 16x as primary video driver in BIOS
- Updated BIOS.
- Set PCI as primary video driver in BIOS
- Set PCI 16x as primary video driver in BIOS
- Yelled at computer.
- Disabled random things in device manager.
- Fixed disabling of random things in device manager.
- Disabled PCI slot (in device manager). Made the 250 work, but the 8400 was disabled. This is were I am now so I get at least 2 monitors back.
System Specs:
Modded HP m9400t
Core 2 Quad Q6700 "Kentsfield" @2.7 gHz
4 GB PC6400 RAM @ 666mHz
MSI GTS 250 TwinFrozr OC @ 764mHz Core (tried latest drivers and previous drivers)
TV Card
500GB + 1TB WD Caviar Black Internal, 750 GB External
620 W Antec w/48A on 12v
IPIBL-LB. I couldn't find a real manual for this motherboard. Using the 5.39 BIOS update.
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, fully updated
Any thoughts?
