Black Screen with 10 GbE card installed

Disable the wireless module in the BIOS settings.

There's not a way to disable just the onboard wifi thru BIOS (that I can find at least). I tried disabling the onboard LAN completely but the only thing that works when I do that is the wifi card - the 10GbE card doesn't show up.

Maybe you can physically remove it, it appears to be an M2 module.

I'll poke around. Do you think this is causing the bandwidth issues?

According to Intel it's not removable.
I was just thinking to remove it from the equation.

So in a quest to figure this out more, it appears that 1) disabling onboard LAN does not disable the built in wifi/bluetooth, and 2) my bluetooth is configured to go through the onboard setup, not the Fenvi card. Very strange.

I believe I've solved it - CSM support was ENABLED in BIOS. Disabling it got all 4 of my monitors working.

Just disable the USB port that your onboard bluetooth is connected to and enable the USB port that your Fenvi is connected to.
