Hi!
I have Asus Radeon HD 7970 and 3 monitors. Have an active sapphire DP to DVI adapter and two Passive DP to HDMI adapters. It has worked very good since the pc was new in 2012 but after a format today it won't detect the monitor with the active adapter. But on the windows startup screen it works on the one with the active adapter, but stops working when i come to login screen. And if i disconnect the two with passive hdmi adapters it's not detecting the one with active then either. It worked 5 hours ago, but not since format.. :(

Anyone have any ideas about what i can do?

Cheers!

I have downloaded CCC from AMD's site, didn't work with 3 monitors so tried to get it from ASUS's site(if there were any difference.. It wasn't). I don't use window's own drivers, i get them form each manufacturer's homepage, and get the drivers from them. So it's the latest drivers from all manufactureres for my hardware..

The reason for my format was that I built it in may 2012, so it was starting to get abit slow and full of old programs and games. It's my 3. self built pc and have never run into a problem i couldnt fix before. Have buildt maybe 10 pc's for friends and family aswell. I use Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Same windows I used before format.

The monitor works before I install CCC.. But can't run 3 screens with default driver can i? And it also works on Windows startup screen until the login screen shows.. Then it dosn't recive any signal and it won't be detected by CCC or in windows display options.. I don't care about eyefinity as i don't use it, only used it as 3 individual screens..

Just wiped out the GPU drivers and anything that went along with it. And it now shows image on 1 screen with passive dp to hdmi adapter and on the one with active dp to dvi adapter. The default monitor detection is finding only 1 monitor but showing duplicate on the other.. So I think it's abit weird.. But read somewhere that there is a bug with the newest version of ccc with windows 7 64 bit. Dunno if anyone know's anything about it?

Do they have them on the AMD's site or do i have to find them elsewhere? Have only tried the newest version of the driver so far. Think i had the newest before I formatted aswell.. But isn't a 100% sure..

Ok.. Now i have tried with older drivers, and have found out that 13.12 (newest) and 13.9 dosn't work. But 13.4 is the newest that does :) anyone have any idea why? Have Asus Sabretooth x79 and Asus Radeon 7970 HD Direct CU 2. As i have no clue why the two latest drivers won't work! :(

That is a bit of a strange issue, as I haven't read anything about those drivers having any issues with multimonitor display setups. You can try reseating the graphics card, or moving it to a different PCIe slot, and then try the newest drivers again. There may be a weird little communication issue.
