| 1277384 | 2012-05-25 09:07:00 | Hey all, getting reaaaaaaaally sick of this. For well over a year I have had 3 monitors running off my 5850 in the below config... TV -> HDMI -> DVI HP -> DP -> DP AOC -> VGA -> DVI I have never had any problems until wednesday when I unplugged it all cos I got a bracket to mount the 24" HP and 19" AOC. Plugged back in and could not get a signal out of the HP/Displayport. Kept trying different things including uninstalling and reinstalling all drivers and managed to get it so all 3 screens were going but the HP had massive flickering and on and off black screen. Bit more playing and now it just goes to sleep! Won't get a signal at all. But if I plug the vga from the 19" into the HP all is well as well as the tv running sweet. Just can't get all 3 screens to go. I have googled as much as I can and have managed to replicate just about every scenario there is except fixing it! Is it the cable? Seems odd though because the symtoms are forever changing. Any ideas/ a hammer would be much appreciated |

| 1277385 | 2012-05-25 09:17:00 | My guess would be a cable as everything worked before the alteration so very unlikely to be a driver problem. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 1277386 | 2012-05-25 09:19:00 | Ill give it a shot, pretty sad that unplugging an oem cable is enough to stuff it if that is the case. | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 1277387 | 2012-05-25 10:01:00 | Check your refresh rates etc. Could be something got changed incorrectly. Unplugging the monitor is more than just a cable disconnection, it will detect the monitor as being disconnected and disable that output. It's entirely possible when you plugged it back in again it's changed something in the settings. |

| 1277388 | 2012-05-25 10:59:00 | I've checked refresh rates, i think. I can only seem to see the recommended refresh rate in CCC, don't have the option of adjusting, only in windows screen resolution thing | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 1277389 | 2012-05-25 11:45:00 | Ok monitor has worked on post up until windows a couple of times randomly, does that rule out cable? | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 1277390 | 2012-05-25 12:21:00 | Check plugs for bent pins, straighten carefully with delicate long nosed pliers. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 1277391 | 2012-05-25 12:33:00 | Displayport connectors don't have pins as such, more like contacts... | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 1277392 | 2012-05-26 04:51:00 | Can confirm that the cable is not the problem.. whats next? | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 1277393 | 2012-05-26 05:08:00 | Have you tried removing video drivers including all monitor drivers, running cleaner like driversweeper etc? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
