BIOS issue then?

I'm curious how you did the initial monitor setup.

IE did you start with 1 monitor , goto video control panel , setup second monitor for 'spanning' , THEN connect the second monitor ?

I've never used an ATI card for duallys , but there may be a special procedure for setup.

BIOS needs to know which monitor is the primary......plugging both in without proper setup might confuse it.

In the bios there is uaually a "VGA Init Display" or similar, where you can tell the bios which display to initiate first (options are usually PCI, PCI-E16-1, PCI-E16-2, Onboard, etc). Select one and see if that helps.

Good call assuming this board has onboard. Could very well be the issue.

Otherwise, maybe it's a reason not to buy Foxconn boards

K, now we are on it. I'm thinking Bios too. The bios has no option to disable the onboard video, does it automatically when it detects a card in the pci-e slot. Board is an MPV61 Foxconn, card is a powercolor 4350.

I dont think this is a PCIe select issue as mentioned above. Ive yet to see a board not POST due to that selection.

I'm still thinking bios. Good luck with Foxconn tho

I just got a call. One of the computers wont boot at all now, even with just one monitor plugged in. I'm going to go pull them out, test them on another workstation.

I've had more grief with ATI cards in my 15 years. I should have learned to stay away from them.

Sounds like a potentially dud card as someone else mention and yes Squeetard, you should be using nvidia.
