DisplayPort.. HELP!!!

[Mesoawe]

Hi Guys, 

 

So im having a problem here.. 

 

I bought a new projector for my setup, my Graphics card has two DVI ports, one HDMI and one Displayport. 

 

Up until now i've been using the HDMI port for my monitor but I now need to change his and use the Displayport for my monitor which also has a Displayport as the Projector will use up the only HDMI port.

 

However, when I connect the Monitor with the Displayport cable I get an error saying: displayport link failure. 

 

I Dont know what the problem is, I've tried using another brand new cable and it still doesn't work. I updated all the relevant drivers.  

 

Here are the Specs to my Rig: 

 

CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor 

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler 

Motherboard: Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z ATX AM3+ Motherboard 

Memory: G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory 

Storage: Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive 

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive 

Video Card: Asus Radeon R9 280X 3GB DirectCU II Video Card 

Case: Cooler Master Storm Trooper ATX Full Tower Case 

Power Supply: Corsair RM 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply 

Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer

Would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with this!

Many displayport monitors feature daisy chaining, which means the monitor has 2 Displayport ports, one for 'IN' and one for 'OUT'. Plug the cable on the correct monitor port.

Uhhhhh, if AOC's website is accurate, that monitor doesn't have displayport..

 

What were you plugging the displayport cable into??

I only has the one Displayport.
