I have dell monitors that are exactly the same. These things honestly have a mind of their own. I have 2 dvi, 1 hdmi, and no displayport. The first time i turned on the computer it didn't display anything on one of the monitors, so i was trying to figure out what was wrong, but it didn't seem like it was on my end. I switched the monitors and all of a sudden i see the bios display and everything turned on :/. I setup the monitors and they all worked fine. The 2 dvi cables were setup on the graphics card and the hdmi only worked on the motherboard. A week later i turn on the computer and the displays get messed up and only 2 of them display. I really don't understand what is happening. All 3 monitors displayed everything fine, and now only 2 work. Do i need a display port? I have Radeon HD 7850 ASUS, and i downloaded the latest driver. I also have windows 7! Please help!

In Your bios make sure multi monitor is still on and if you want the ipgpu or gpu the first video device make sure it set there. In windows make sure the newest ipgpu drivers are installed. Also check under display adaptore to make sure there two of them there and there both on.

From AMD Website:
"What are the basic requirements for connecting multiple displays?
Connecting multiple monitors for AMD Eyefinity technology couldn’t be simpler. There are four easy rules to remember:

The first two monitors can connect to the graphics card with any display output on your product: HDMI, VGA, DVI or DisplayPort.
The third (or greater) display must be connected to the graphics card via DisplayPort.
If your monitor does not have a DisplayPort connection, you will need an inexpensive active DisplayPort adapter for it. DVI to DP adapters can be had for less than $30 USD.2
Every family of GPUs supports a different maximum number of displays."

I've been reading that, but i don't understand why they all worked before without the display port. The HDMI was in the motherboard , and the 2 dvi was in the gpu. Then all of a sudden that setup stopped working.
