Need a Multi Monitor Guru Please;-)

[Dougal 165]

I have two monitors attached to the video card (GTX570):

main monitor is on the single HDMI port

2^nd is on a DVI port.

 

When the PC boots, all BIOS and POST data shows ONLY on monitor 2 from the DVI port.

 

Only after Windows7 boots, do the screens change priority.   Is this normal?

 

How can I get the PC to boot using the main screen?

 

Also, in Windows7 display settings, I can’t find a way of actually disabling the 2^nd monitor (for gaming etc)

 

Any help appreciated

What you describe is normal behavior for a multi monitor set up.  To disable the second monitor you can go to hardware section of the control panel
