After 20 hours of research i haven't managed to fix my problem, so i come to you guys for help.

 

I've had my eyefinity setup for almost half a year now, everything has been running perfectly in extended desktop mode, and whenever i had to switch to my eyefinity profile there was no problem. But yesterday I wanted to play a game in eyefinity mode, so i went into CCC and tried to enable my eyefinity group. Everything went down after that, my monitors started disconnecting and reconnecting constantly.  Now i cannot get all my monitors to connect at the same time. Whenever i insert my third monitor all monitors goes black, and i keep hearing the disconnect and reconnect sound. After uninstalling AMD Catalyst Control Center a million times, i decided to try and reinstall windows which made my monitors able to turn on in extended desktop, but as soon as i tried that eyefinity group, hell broke lose again.

 

Things i've done

 

- Uninstalled and reinstalled Catalyst And tried older versions

- Uninstalled windows.

- Checking that each monitor works individiually

- Tried tried to insert cables in different orders ( Sometimes i've managed to get all my monitors on at the same time, and they work in extended desktop, but as soon as i try and do something in CCC like creating eyefinity profile, they go black)

- Taking power chord out of the monitors and inserting them again

 

Info

 

i have 2xHDMI to DVI and one Normal HDMI

My setup has worked without problems for around 4 months both in extended desktop and in eyefinity games

My graphic card is an R9 290, so i don't need an active displayport

My psu is a 650w seasonic

 

I personally think it's the AMD Catalyst software that is the problem here, i did do a rollback to before the problem happened and my screens were functioning again, but then i clicked the enable eyefinity group button and it started doing it again.  On the other hand, i did do a clean install of windows and it still happened.

Well, the newest update seems to be the Omega driver, and i haven't noticed other people having the same problem with the driver.

I dont know what to say then. I have never ran eyefinity. I hope you get this fixed. Good luck.

Move along. Nothing to see here

If you are trying to enable 3 screens with eyefinity you will need an active displayport adapter, even with the xfx 295X2 i had to use one to enable all screens in eyefinity.

Hope this helps you guys out :)

I never had this problem before and never needed a displayport adapter but I just started having this problem
