TM I need your help!! 2 Monitors 1 HD TV! BSOD

(1/2) > >>

Coragin:
You are the only one I know who can help me fix this.

I was running dual monitors, but now since I am using VMWare, thanks btw.

I have the following

Gigabyte MB GA-MA790GP-UD4H

It has onboard video I was using for dual  monitors.  One DVI the second on VGA.  ATI Radeon HD 3300 Chipset.  It auto installed the catalyst Control Center.

I added my nVidia GeForce 8800+ AGP card for my HD TV as a third monitor and to watch movies and such.  Keeping my original two the same set up and they work fine.

As soon as windows is installing the drivers, it goes black to bios boot and resttarts, no warning just pops off.  Upon reboot I get a quick flash of windows BSOD protection fault or something, its so fast I cant read it.  Same thing every time I reboot until I reboot in safe mode and uninstall the geforce.

I have the bios set to have the onboard as the main video.

Could this be because one is ATI and the other is nVidia?  If so, could the control panels they are both installing having a conflict?  Or chould I just set AGP as primary and then just re-arrange the monitors from there setting default in display settings?  :)

Help me pls...

TrailMyx:
Not sure I can help ya.  I never use ATI (no reason really, just don't) so I never mix chipsets or use on-board video.  Best I can tell you is to make sure your BIOS is fully up-to-date as well as all your video drivers.  If that doesn't work, then I'm out of ideas.

Cerveza:
Basic Troubleshooting: Start simple, with a known good. Introduce new variables and ensure your still good. Keep progressing and when you fail you've found your problem area. Then research online for that specific thing.

Coragin:
I read MB manual, says it will only support AGP and onboard display if BOTH are ATI.  sigh

draxxter:
From Vista and after BSOD produces in C:\windows\minidump\ .dmp files you can open with debuggers to see what caused the BSOD.

I would follow Cerv's route though cause usually BSODs are produced by win services that you cannot really disable like ntkrpamp.exe.

Good luck :)
