Somebody here at work just got a GPU upgrade and I swooped in and grabbed their old AMD 5450 to add to my HP p7-1234 oem desktop (equipped with HD 6530D). I'm wanting to run these devices concurrently, so that I can have 3 monitors but I've been having problems with that.
I was able to install the driver for the new device and make it the primary device in the BIOS, but I can't initialize the other device in Windows. They are both visible in the device manager, but the device not enabled as the primary in BIOS will read a code 43.
After failing this route, I tried just plugging all 3 monitors into the new 5450 with a DVI>HDMI that I found lying around, only I still can't get all 3 to work at once. I can only extend the display to one at a time.
This is very disappointing. Advice please.
