    You should plug both monitors into your graphics card.

    Have you tried to hook up two monitors to the onboard Geforce 6 (1x VGA, 1x HDMI) or to the 8500 GT (1x VGA, 1x DV-I) rather than 1 monitor to each card? The onboard adapter might be disabled when you plug in an addon card.

    Are the drivers for the 8500 installed?
