Alright, i cant seem to get a two monitors working at the same time on my setup. So far as graphics and stuff go, my setup is... :
OEM version of windows XP pro with SP2
Two Nvidia GeForce 6600 GTs (PCIe) (can be SLI'ed through hard port and the MoBo is compatible)
1 Sampsung 21 inch wide screen LCD (model # 215tw)(primary)
1 Sampsung 22 inch widescreen LCD (model # 225bw)(secondary)
both are currently plugged into one of the two GPUs and are running through DVI cables. The GPUs and the primary monitors Drivers are fully updated and the GPUs are no longer in SLI mode. I can't even get the computer to recognise the 22 inch monitor so i have not yet installed its drivers. I dont know what Im doing wrong or even where to continue. You guys have helped me out in the past. Hope you do it again!!! :whistling:

thanks!!!

Sure!
OCZ 600-Watt PSU (Go here http://www.tigerdire...;Sku=O261-2004)
It is listed as an Sli Ready PSU so i dont think that that is the cause. It also may be pertinent to add that both GPUs kick on and function (can see it with a hardware monitor Mod I have), yet I can't get 2 monitors on at once. Also the case it water cooled and I have never had an overheating problem.

That power supply should be fine..What manufacturer are the cards from, and, what is the model of the MoBo. So, from what I understand, you are trying to connect two displays to one card, or is it one display on each card?
