Newly installed Asus video card problem

[traderlos]

Hey guys, here's my run down:

HP p6823w

AMD phenom II x2 processor  3.50 GHz

Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium

Recently I installed an Asus NVIDIA GeForce 210. Went through the prompts and it functioned well. Couple of weeks later, it started acting screwy. My monitors began flickering, it restarted by itself, and had rebooting problems with a blue screen. After going through this forum I discovered it could be a power supply issue ( not computer savvy). I use the machine for day trading stocks so I need to run six monitors at the same time for an extended period of time. My questions are...

1. Can I use the Corsair CX600 power supply; it has the same dimensions as the factory installed unit?

2. Can I run an additional NVIDIA GeForce 210 video card with the one already installed? I use the VGA and DVI output to run each monitor.

3. Will this be too much strain on the motherboard?

4. Will there be a heating problem?

The other two monitors will be ran off the preexisting ATI video card. Lastly, I did update the NVIDIA driver but still had a reoccurring problem.

Any feedback would be definitely appreciated.

1. Can I use the Corsair CX600 power supply; it has the same dimensions as the factory installed unit?

Yes, you can install a Corsair CX500 or CX600 in your system without issue.

2. Can I run an additional NVIDIA GeForce 210 video card with the one already installed? I use the VGA and DVI output to run each monitor.

You can only use one PCIe x16 video card in your system. You can't use it and the integrated ATI Radeon 4200 concurrently... one or the other but not both. You may be able to run one or more PCIe x1 video cards with either a PCIe x16 card or the onboard Radeon 4200... use all the same maker for the cards, ie. (all NVidia or all AMD/ATI)

3. Will this be too much strain on the motherboard? and 4. Will there be a heating problem?

It is unlikely that your system will allow the use of that many cards, so strain and heating will never become an issue.

You may want to look into using several USB-to-video adapters such as the eVGA UV Plus+ 19 USB Display Adapter.

I think it would be much saver to use a second ATI than a Nvida!
Two different graphics drivers - I'm wondering that this worked at all.
