Do both monitors support the same kind of DVI connection? There's DVI-i, DVI-d etc.
Is there an updated driver from available from ATI for this card?
Do both monitors support dual (or single) link DVI? Dual link supports higher resolution than single link. So if there's a link (resolution) difference between the two monitors... And which "link" does the video card support, dual or single link?
What happens if you connect the second monitor to where you normally connect the main one, and the main one where you connected the other?
What's the purpose here? Same window on 2 screens, same window extended over 2 screens or separate windows on each screen?
If either monitor supports VGA and you have a VGA output on the video card, you might try that together with one monitor connected to the DVI output. There may be a built-in VGA port connector (from motherboard), but that's usually disabled when there's an add-in video card, so be sure to use the VGA port on the video card, next to the DVI port, if it exists.
How is "Init Display First" set in BIOS Setup?
