Strange Duel Monitor Internet Problem HELP :S

Okay, I have my monitor and tv both plugged into my graphics card, monitor by DVI, and tv by HDMI, now When I have both enabled, i.e. tv as extended desktop, there is no problems, but recently i plugged a 3rd monitor into my GPU to via DVi with a mini display port adapter, when I extended the desktop to just that, it causes the internet to lose all connection, as soon as i disable it, the internet comes straight back, help :/ could it just be that its an old monitor?

That shouldn't really happen, what GPU and network/motherboard do you have? Tried updating GPU/network drivers?

I have twin forzr III 7850, gigabyte z77 d3h mobo, and asus cpi n15 wireless adapter, its only when i enable the other monitor with dvi that the internet just seems to die, its always been fine with the tv and hdmi :/

and yes, all the drivers are current

When the internet dies, does the wireless adapter still appear under Device Manager? Have you tried updating the BIOS to see if that helps? Also, what PCI-E slots is the GPU and wireless adapter in?

yeh it still shows everything, and it still shows it as connected, but it instantly loses a couple of bars of signal n then eventually just slows to a halt, erm I think the gpu is in the 16x pci slot, and the adapter is the one next to it

I would try a BIOS update first, then I would try the wireless adapter in the other PCI-E slots, including the second PCI-E x16 slot.
