I have a 3 monitor setup that worked flawlessly in Win7. Main monitor is driven by the onboard Intel HD4000 and the other two monitors by an old Nvidia Quadro Fx540. Main monitor is DVI-D the other two VGA.
Upgrade proceeded without trouble and the Win8 Microsoft included drivers for the cards installed fine, 3 monitor displays all working at the correct resolution. I then installed the latest Win8 drivers from Asus(the mother board mfctr) and Nvidia. On restart the splash screen with the blue window logo and the spinning dots appears, screens then go black and then flicker light to black with lots of hdd activity but the system will not boot any further.
I can go into safe mode and change the drivers back to the Microsoft supplied ones and it all works fine but windows update keeps trying to install updated drivers despite having set the do not install drivers from windows update option. When it installs the updates I get the same hung boot problem.
I have tried removing the second card, deleting all drivers, tried the drivers direct from intel all with the same result.
I can live with using the original Microsoft drivers that work but I can find no mention on any forums of this problem and hope to find a solution so that the drivers can be updated in the future.
Anyone had similar or know a solution?
