Hello everyone.
I have had an ASUS P5N-E SLI for about three years now. For all of that time up until a few weeks ago, I ran a dual-monitor setup off of a PCIe EVGA 9600GT. I recently got hooked on iRacing.com, and I was checking out the three monitor setups. I know they're not a good combo, but I had an ATI x1950 Pro lying around, so I figured that I'd pop it in the 2nd PCIe slot and run a third monitor off of it. I know that it wasn't going to run SLI and I didn't want it to. My ultimate goal was three monitors.
Long story short, Windows doesn't see the card. If I pull the EVGA and put the ATI in the main slot, the ATI works fine. I read that just a card installed in the 2nd slot should work and that didn't work either. I've tried everything including resetting the BIOS, played around with the SLI installation card, and pulled everything from the machine except for the video cards to eliminate power problems.
I'm close to throwing in the towel and picking up a new MB. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Vinny
