Here is my system

Fx-8350 ( stock clock )
2x4GB Gskill 1866
120GB samsung 850 evo
1TB WD blue
asus M5a99fx pro R2.0
XFX R9 290 double dissipation 4GB
corsair CX600w ( i know its to low but it works great for now, i shouldve looked further into the specs before i bought, my bad )

and 3 Acer 24" monitors,

my problem is ive tried all the fixes ive found on toms hardware and other websites. yet i still cant get all three to connect into Eyefinity, i can have two running, and if i uninstall all drivers, and delete CCC. Then restart, and use the disk my GPU came with i can get all three to come on for a while, till i set up eyefinity.

I had it working for about 20minutes and when i tried to play BF4 the screens turned off and back on ( you can hear the "usb unplug replug" sound going on) and it freezes CCC, soon as i turn off one of the monitors CCC starts working again.

please help me! i love this new build, ive never been able to play on High or Ultra till now. and this system has done everything ive wanted besides the 3 monitors or make me a sammich.

The cables im using are Two DVI-D to Hdmi and one HDMI cable. You're not " supposed" to have to adapters, hince why i went with this dad gum card.

In order to setup multi-monitor configurations using AMD graphics cards, at least one of the monitors is required to be connected via Display Port, otherwise it will not work. In your case, you will most likely need to purchase a Display Port to DVI/HDMI adapter, luckily these are fairly cheap, and should hopefully fix your problem

The radeon R9 290 was "supposed" to be able to use Two DVI-D connections and one HDMI, they made changes to the Hawaii core. i did try last night an adapter from DP -> DVI-D/hdmi cable and i had Eyefinity "working" but the third monitor would not display at correct 1920x1080, so thinking it might be that i was trying to "addapt " cables to much i returned it for a DP-> HDMI cable. but now im back to square one.

when i turn the 3rd monitor on CCC start flashing and goes non responsive, two monitors start flashing (like they're trying to figure out which order they are in) and the third searchs for a signal... at this point im getting pretty frustrated with this whole set up and wishing i bought one big monitor *face palm*

I am using Eyefinity myself, and one thing I will say is that AMD cards don't play to nicely with adapter cables. Perhaps a solution that might work is to use adapter blocks and then hdmi/dvi cables from there? I know that fixed some issues I used to have with DVI - HDMI cables not allowing for the correct resolution to display (According to AMD this has something to do with the adapter cable preventing the monitor from properly transmitting its EDID; this also seems to happen more when converting from DVI to HDMI). If this doesn't work, sadly the only other way to connect multiple displays is through the use of an MST, which is fairly expensive, in order to connect multiple DP connections. As upsetting as it is, this is the solution I personally settled for, as the adapter blocks were just to bulky to fit into my space constraints; but it should hopefully work for you. As for AMD no longer needing a DP connection, I remember seeing that somewhere, but as far as I can tell from online resources, it would appear that this functionality is reserved for a specific few cards; and it would seem that the hawaii chips are not such cards, sadly. I hope this works for you, and please make sure to let me know how it goes!
