So I just built a new PC and it worked just fine, I bought 2 Dell displays and connected them with eyefinity. It worked very well so I bought one more screen. So here is the problem AMD said that my graphics card (r9) supports connecting 3 or more displays without using an active DP adapter, but every time i try connecting the 3rd display it is disconnected by windows. Also Here are some screenshots:



Please help!

Are you using a DP monitor at all? You need either (A) an active display port to hdmi/dvi/etc. or (B) a DP monitor plugged in to the GPU's DP. You cannot make use of say 2 DVIs and 1 HDMI. It would have to be a combination of 2 DVI/HDMIs and one DP (A or B).

Ok so yesterday I managed to run all 3 displays and also managed to make an eyefinity group, but today (since my cables are pretty short) I accidentally plugged the dp cable out now i cant do anything and only 2 screens can be ran together.
Also about what you were saying r9 graphic cards can work without using any dp screens, you can use a combination of any 3 connectors.

Also all 3 displays are DVI (one connected using a passive DP adapter).

Ok, I fixed the problem by just simply restarting the computer and by going to catalyst control center and then by clicking on the extend desktops.
