Yes, if this is on a system with two gpu's (one onboard and one discreet) that are not sli/cf, then this would be a multi monitor type of setup where both are active, and both would require a separate, or multiple separate monitors, depending on the setup your going for, and each gpu are capable of outputing to (ports available).

BTW, this is the board you have, yes?

Oh golly! Well i'll begin with the less hard answer -- yes that is my MoB model, except i cannot yet vouch for its Rev# without looking inside the Tower case, & i have not done that [& am still hoping not to need to].

Re "a system with two gpu's (one onboard and one discreet) that are not sli/cf", i have no idea what "sli/cf" means, but certainly according to inxi -Fxz there are 2 GPUs:

"this would be a multi monitor type of setup where both are active, and both would require a separate, or multiple separate monitors" --> well this just shocks me. My Tower is connected to only a single monitor, & i have NO desire nor intention to buy any additional monitors for it. Certainly there is zero chance i would be prepared to buy & setup a second monitor merely to prevent these freezes. Surely that is not truly needed here?
