Hi all, recently installed Geforce 5200 FX 256ddr dual monitor graphics card. Currently running three monitors (third monitor off default card) no problems. I want to run a further two monitors. Brought another Geforce 5200 graphics card to do so. installed it no probs, when I go into Display properties all 5 screens are recognised fine but one screen on the first Geforce 5200 displays a black blank screen. When I uninstall the second 5200 graphics card the intial 3 screens work perfectly. I don't understand why the two cards are not working together?! Hope this doesnt sound too confusing! Would very much appreciate some feedback! many thanks

Hi Dave, ive downloaded the latest drivers from their website. When I run the setup there is an error. "The NVIDA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit"
Strange.. |

I'd update all your motherboard drivers, then retry the Nvidia ones.
Get a 4in1 package off the manufacturers website. |

Hi Dave, ive updated Bios and nvidia drivers. Still no luck. I have uninstalled both 5200 cards are reinstalled them. Changed them around in their PCI slots. I have found that the problem occurs in one DVI, on one particular PCI slot. How ever when the other 5200 card is not plugged in, that DVI works perfectly. I have tried disabling the onboard card to see if that was the problem, but still experienced prob. There is no physical problems with the cards or the monitors/leads. One thing I noticed when they are both plugged in, when I go into the properties of one the cards in device manager, the resource settings do not have any I/O ranges. Pulling my hair out now!!!
