Dell XPS 8500 Integrated Graphics

I have an amd radeon hd 7770 in my computer with 2 monitors hooked up to it. Is it possible for me to enable onboard graphics in the BIOS and hook up the third monitor to the onboard while the 2 other monitors are running off of the 7770.

It is possible. But with your HD 7770 and a Display Port cable or Active Display Port Adapter you can run all three from it.

I can't actually. I have 2 vga monitors. I have one dvi to vga. One hdmi to vga and one dp to dvi. My main monitor doesn't have a dp port on it. So, I was just wondering. I tried to connect it. I enabled it from the settings but when I plug the third monitor in, my computer shuts off and it won't turn back on until I plug it out. Is there any way to fix this without upgrading the psu? I did get it to boot up once with all three however. But I turned my computer off and it wouldn't start until I unplugged it.

And btw, If I connect all three to the gpu, one of the monitors disconnects. What are my options to get all three on the gpu with 2 vga and 1 dvi/vga/hdmi monitor. I have a hdmi to vga and dvi to vga and dp to dvi.
