The installed 8514/a adapter over-rides the VGA installed on the
motherboard.  The PS/2 design allows for all video commands not
understood by the VGA adapter to be automically routed to the 8514/a
adapter card.  This will confuse windows (and codeview).
 
It is interesting that all output to both monitors stops, I would have
guessed that output to the VGA would halt, output to the 8514/a would
continue.  I am assuming that you have installed the correct device
drivers in your config.sys for the 8514/a adapter.
