  1. Hi all, seeking help/advice on an issue i have been experiencing since hooking up my 3rd monitor. i have attempted to google but cant seem to find another situation like mine, or im not entering the right search parameters. system: i7 3820 gigabyte x79-up4 1x gigabyte wf3 7950 with fx1 bios 3x dell u2312hm 850w silverstone strider gold evolution (previously running trifire) 16 gig gskill rip jaws @1866 256gb m4 ssd now ive had 2 monitors running for ages with no dramas, hooked up as follows #1 dvi-dvi, #2 mini dp -dp the other day got my 3rd monitor and hooked them up as follows # 1dvi-dvi, #2 mini dp-dp, #3 mini dp-dp since hooking 3rd one up i have found it will not boot/resume from sleep while all 3 are hooked up, i'll press the power button and nothing happens, no lights, no fans nothing. i decided to change the newest dp cable, with a different issue occurring upon change over. now it will just not turn on the dvi screen and only power up the 2 dp screens. previously this was a bit of an issue as to get it to boot i would need to unplug the second dp, unplug and replug the 24 pin atx to get a boot/sleep resume. then just replug and re activate the 3rd monitor in catalyst control centre and all would be good. now tho, if i do the above, the screens will all work for a bit then the 3rd will drop down to some stupid low resolution, if i change it back to 1080 again it will do the same thing after about 30 seconds. i have tried switching cables and ports around tried changing gpu bios ( no matching bios available on gb site for my card/bios) driver is up to date im stumped as i didnt think a 3rd monitor could cause a failed boot. any help or advice yall could offer would be great feel free to ask for any info required i may have left out. thx all
