SIGFPE on application startup after adding second video card

[thejpster]

Centos 7 has been working well for me for a while, using the onboard Intel HD4000 graphics and two 1080p monitors. The other day, I added an nVidia Geforce 210 and connected a third screen. When the HD4000 was the primary adaptor, the nVidia display had terrible corruption issues (smeared windows / cursors, etc) but with the nVIdia card as the primary, it seems fine.

The HD4000 drives a 1080p and an SXGA screen, and the nVidia card runs the other 1080p screen.

Since adding the nVidia card, I've been having issues running various applications.

Here's libreoffice causing a SIGFPE on startup.

Here's Beyond Compare 3 causing a SIGFPE in libqt3. I've removed their binary bundled libqt3-mt.so so it uses the OS supplied version, but the result is the same:

I've got other crashes in dmesg too - Python and client is probably Rabbit VCS which crashed on me earlier:

The CPU is reported as: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz. There's 16 GiB of DDR3 which ran through a complete memtest86+ loop OK.

I'm happy to dig around further, so can anyone suggest any next steps?

I removed the nVidia card and have two screens using the on-board HD4000. LibreOffice and Beyond Compare now work fine.

Edit: I've now added a Radeon HD5870 and disabled the on-board Intel HD4000. I've got all three monitors working (from one card) and LibreOffice / BC3 are still fine. So it's not a display width thing. Must be a mixed-card thing.
