Displayport no display :(

Recently my 590 GTX died and I upgraded to a 780 GTX. I used to use the mini DP from my 590 to my monitor but had to buy a new cable since the 780 only has a full DP connector.

 

While I waited for the DP cable to be delivered I used a dvi dual link cable. The very first time I booted with my new DP cable nothing came up on my screen and the readout code on my motherboard was for "legacy boot error". I Didn't feel like fixing it at the time so I left it. A while later I gave it a shot again, this time with windows running. With my sound on I could hear that windows picked up that I plugged my DP cable in (got that ping sound) but again nothing on my screen.

 

Does anyone have any idea whats wrong?

 

Full specs:

OS: win 8.1

Mobo: Asus Maximus IV extreme

Ram: corsair vengeance 8gb 1866MHz

CPU: Intel i7 2600k OC 4.2GHz

GPU: Asus 780 GTX Direct CU II OC (335.23 Driver)

PSU: Corsair HX1000W

Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster SA950 (120hz gaming is amazing )

Yep works fine. It's the one I'm currently stuck with

In that case, you wanna try a different DP cable.

If that doesn't work, then it's either the DP port on your card or the monitor.

Go here to see certified cables.  My generic one is malfuntioning, so I ordered the 6ft Accell one that is certified.
