Help -Window 7 crashes adding Apple NVIDIA GeForce GT 120

dmax35 · Feb 11, 2013, 05:18 AM

Looking for some assistance with windows 7 crashing after adding an Apple NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 card this past weekend to my daughters Mac Pro in order to run a 3 monitor setup.

Running Window 7 in Boot camp was working fine prior to adding the card with a 5770. I’m not a windows expert and tried to delete any new hardware config after pulling the card and still win 7 crashes with into a blue screen. I’m able to boot in safe mode fine.
Am I needing to reload win 7 in order to resolve the issue?

Thank You.

There's been a few posts where people had issues trying to get the ATI and Nvidia cards to play nice together - I'm unsure if there was a solution, but if you search, they should pop up.

Doesn't the 5770 already support 3 monitors?

That said, I would not run NVidia and AMD (ATI) together. One or the other is ok but not both.
