I plugged in a second monitor to my GTX 280 and easily had both running. After a single restart both monitors no longer boot up with a good visual to the desktop. It's a unintelligible mess of purple and blue that is indescribable.
I've disconnected one. Tried both separately. I've booted to safe mode which I am in now and reloaded the latest drivers. I've run windows Vista Repair and nothing there.
I've set the resolution to rock bottom to see if a cross compatibility issue occurred(Where the smaller monitor picked up as the main and couldn't compute.
The major issue is that the computer is actually "locking" up on me. In a couple instances the computer screamed at me as if the video card was not plugged in yet this happened after going through the Vista boot sequence and loading to desktop where it freezes up.
Someone throw me something to try because I'm out of ideas at the moment.
FYI: I also just got a G15 keyboard and a razor Mamba mouse but both were perfectly fine and involved multiple reboots with these devices operating before I had done the second monitor.
