    Generally speaking, once you install a graphics card, your internal graphics are disabled. On VERY rare occasions there may be an option in the BIOS to enable both.

    If you still have it plugged into the onboard graphics, that is likley your problem and you are not going to fix it.

    So you have all three connected to your GPU? Does your GPU support that? Some may have several heads, but can't use them all at the same time.

    What is the make and model of the GPU?
