Problems with two different Graphics cards

Poddarn

Hey, I just bought myself my third monitor and to connect i needed to plug in my old Graphics card GTS 250, so now i have a 470 and a 250 connected. The first i started the computer it restarted almost immediately, but then it booted again and everything worked. But the next day when i booted the computer the computer only showed my GTS 250, and only 1 monitor was working. I checked that 470 fan was spinning and it was but the computer could not find it? Can some one help me here?

update drivers, place your 470 in the top PCI-E slot.

It's pushing the PSU to it's limit but it's best to get the exact same GPU to avoid these problems.
