What did you expect the splitter to do?
If it is a splitter cable you are messing up the signals too. the video card and monitor are impedance matched to the signal cable, except you just put two in parallel halving the impedance and now your video card is trying to drive twice the current it should.
Get a dual head video card. There are cheap ones out there.
Learn what you need to do before you do it.

you require a second graphics card in sli mode (or xfire for ati cards) for it to output two different graphical displays
