in my previous thread, my monitor in dvi cable powers off during windows load is done. although each reboot if im lucky the monitor stays on although the windows loading then would load unusually slow.
when i uninstall nvidia drivers it takes to my desktop just fine so i assume it doesnt use the gtx 970

now i want to have my gtx 970 on my main pci slot (gen 3 dvi )dvi cable to my main monitor
and my old gpu 570 on the second pci slot (gen 2) vga cable to my second monitor
vga cable connected to my motherboard io vga slot to my third monitor

can i do these and not break anything? i wanna see if my integrated graphic is conflicting with the gtx 970 so perhaps maybe my computer transfer the screen from main monitor to second or the third monitor.

I would disable the integrated graphics. It can cause conflicts with Nvidia.

I would not connect your Integrated Graphics and the 970 at the same time. You can try using the 570 and 970 at the same time for multiple displays, it shouldn't hurt anything.

I suspect an uninstall of the Integrated drivers and possibly disabling in BIOS might fix your issue assuming it is conflict related. If it doesn't work you can always reset your BIOS by removing the battery for a few seconds to get your integrated display back.
