I ran into this a while back, there was a BSOD in the GTX 980Ti drivers that only got triggered by multi-monitor setups. Hilariously the solution was to use a newer beta driver that hadn't passed WHQL yet. (Rolling back would've worked as well, but I was updating specifically because there was a bug in the previous driver. WebMs in Chrome would start out mostly black w/ fuzzy blocks and after a loop of the content they'd work fine.)

They make cards w/ 4x DisplayPort connectors, but apparently multiple monitors isn't part of their quality assurance process? That seems a mite silly to me.

I've 4x GTX 690s 3x dedicated to GFX, 1 to physics. 3 to VFX. I'm seen a number of GSODs with bugcheck VIDEO_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT_INTERAL. Always happens when I've 1 monitor streaming news, primary monitor playing Civ VI.
Interesting. I have an AMD card and experience that too.
