Ok so after this article,

i did run a GeForce 6800 alongside a Quadro 600, however due to a major issue and currently once again running a single card, a GeForce 6800

(i will post a topic about the major problems eventually)

 

The problem i face now with my GeForce 6800 is that it randomly disconnect from my system and then reconnect. I can tell it disconnect due to the Windows Systems Sound and how both monitors go black for around a second. This might not sound as a issue at first, but the problem is that if i have a chrome browser on my second monitor, when my monitors re-appear, ALL open programs go onto my first monitor which causes me to have to move my Chrome Browser back to my second monitor which can get annoying. Is there a solution to this problem?
 

Another tiny problem i face is that sometimes when i first on my computer and when GPU reconnects is that my secondary monitor becomes my primary monitor and my secondary monitor becomes my secondary monitor at a super low-resolution. Also the order would be flipped. The way i solve this issue is that i would have to go to the desktop, right click, display settings, advanced display settings and detect. Which again can be really annoying. Is there a more permanent solution

That's Window's fault. If there are multiple monitors, it can't remember the position of each thing when they reconnect. Only 2 ways to solve it: either get a 3rd party app to automatically manage window positioning for you, or ask Microsoft to implement proper multi-display support.

 

Your pick.

Just to make it clear, I was specifically refering to windows moving to the main display. That is software.

 

But the display flickering / resolution thingy, that I have no idea as to the source.
