Problems with dual monitors
Hi all,
I'm trying to get dual monitors (two Mag Innovision 17") working. I'm running Windows XP, and I have two video cards, a Nvidia GeForce4 MX 4000, and a Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440. I have a Soyo P41 845PE Mobo with 512mb ram and a P4 2.8C 800FSB processor, along with a 420 Thermaltake PSU. I'm having a problem getting both monitors to work at the same time. I'm postive that both cards and both monitors work. I take one of the cards out, and try both monitors, and vice versa. I have my main vid card in PCI slot 0, and I've tried the second card in all other slots. It resides in slot 1 now. The problem is when I get the computer to boot (sometimes it gets to a black screen, after POST, and after the Windows splash screen, and just hangs, eventually rebooting.) I go to the device manager and it recognizes both cards. I then go to the display property settings, and I see an option to span to the other monitor. I check the box, and I hit either OK, or Apply. Every time the computer freezes immediately after clicking, and then reboots after a period of time (45 seconds??). Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this? Thanks, MC |
