After purchase of a second graphics card, games crash

[caskla]

Hello, Tom's Hardware users.

As the title says, I recently purchased another graphics card for my gaming PC, expecting to be able to play games across three monitors. However, whenever I start up a game and span it across my three monitors, it crashes... sort of. Two of the screens (the ones that share a GPU) cut out and then display vertical lines across them. The middle screen stays intact, but I am unable to click on anything, and my cursor doesn't change when I mouse over anything. The only way I have found to get out of this is to restart my computer.

Any help is appreciated.

Here is a list of my PC parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/M4bqVn

Damn. I accidentally marked your response as the answer. Any way to undo that?

Regardless, I did post about my PSU earlier. It is the TX 750w enthusiast edition.

I installed the afterburner and my GPU's temperature topped out at 53^o Celsius. Except this time, when it crashed, I got a different error. This time, it said Thread Stuck In Device Driver. I'm going to use the driver verifier tomorrow to figure out exactly which one is the issue.

Alright ill unpick the current solution.

Alright. After attempting to run the Driver Verifier by this (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/551374/thread-stuck-in-device-driver/) method, I have run into an entirely new issue.

Now, whenever I try to boot into my Windows partition, I get a blue screen with the error "driver verifier iomanager violation (scpvbus.sys)." It is stuck in this boot cycle. It doesn't let me boot into Advanced boot options, so I tried repairing my PC through my install disc. I tried to system restore, but it said something about my C drive being corrupt. It suggested I try with another restore point. After returning to the screen that is supposed to have all my restore points, it now says "No restore points have been created in your computer's system drive."

I'm a bit lost here. I am able to access a cmd prompt through the install disc.

I advise you pick the current solution to the original problem which has been solved, As you are facing a different problem/s now you should remake thread where it belongs and redo the title, as you will get more help

Thanks for the advice, but this issue isn't solved either. Can't I come back to this when my OS starts working again?

It sure would help if we could have a conversation about GPU usage and CPU temps.

After days of frustration, I decided to reinstall my OS. Both of my issues have been solved by this.

Thank you all for your help anyway.

lol wow, thats abit weird, anyways 70% on this post was JUST about getting all 3 screens to work, not about the games crashing, so as i said before, pick the solution that helped you to get the active adapters and get all 3 monitors working, it will help anyone going through the same problems
