Long story short. Moved the PC to another room in the house and my short 4-5 ft DVI cable wasn't cutting it, so I bought a Mini Displayport (card) to Displayport (monitor) cable that was 8 ft long, bought from monoprice through amazon. Ran good for 3-4 days and then nothing, switched back to DVI and windows tells me about the Displayport Link Failure. Everything I've tried short of replacing anything has yet to work. Just wanted to know if anyone else has ran into this or dealt with it before.

Card: Gigabyte AMD 7970 OC 3gb
Monitor: Asus VG248QE
