STABLE

I have been running 10.3 since it came out! Today I grabbed 10.9

1.) Ran Windows Update (installed updates)
2.) Un-installed ATI drivers
3.) ran driver sweeper
4.) rebooted
5.) installed 10.9 drivers
6.) rebooted

7.) stable! all three screens working great!

@ Hun,

You're 100% Correct, the issues appear to be driver related and (for me) anything other than 10.3 drivers---> I lose my 3rd display. I have not even bothered with 10.7 because the rest have not worked. ATI is luck they dont have a class action lawsuit against them yet.



I have ...

If you have not UPDATED your BIOS do so now then. PAGE 6...from what I understand that BIOS makes changed to the Display Port on the video card. The BIOS you posted specifically for your XFX card I dont know.


I do know that the one on page 6 fixed my problems.

I have two XFX 5870's ...

BIOS WORKS!

Page 6 if you have not updated your BIOS and have issues please update BIOS as this has solved my issues along with many others. FINALLY!

Thanks Dave!

Well after trying everything....I tried the BIOS dave posted and what do you know it works! I don't wanna get to excited but I haven't had any issues for about 5 hours. However, I am in extended mode...I will have to try "eyefinity" and see if it craps out in that mode.

Oh man both cables on each end are 6ft (lol)

I have been fine....

here's what I did

Updated BIOS to ASUS card one
Voltage is at 1212
I am now running a Acoustic Research AR-489 Pro II Series DVI Repeater

ATIflash is 100% command based homey. Did you try BIN or ROM for the file name? Running atiflash in windows will not work


Well I was going to try to flash my bios to get my version of this problem to go away but alas when i made a bootable usb and used atiflash and followed the instructions ...

DVI-D Dual-Link Digital Cable

Well...I didn't know this (LOL)


WHAT ARE SINGLE AND DUAL LINKS ?

The Digital formats are available in DVI-D Single-Link and Dual-Link as well as DVI-I Single-Link and Dual-Link format connectors. These DVI cables send information using a digital information format called TMDS ...

Flashing your BIOS and adding more voltage wont do anything (as I have tried this already)

Well I was going to try to flash my bios to get my version of this problem to go away but alas when i made a bootable usb and used atiflash and followed the instructions to the letter is simply told me ...

Acoustic Research AR-489 Pro II Series DVI Repeater

Before I spend 400$/500$ on a new Monitor E.g. Dell I will try this out.


I am out ...

Just curious has anyone tried this yet?
Acoustic Research AR-489 Pro II Series DVI Repeater



After a full day and my voltage @ 1200 the monitor went black. :(


Also just to verify the Dell Monitor that comes with DisplayPort *has anyone had blinking issues on them* ????
MODEL ...

i basically havent had a flick all day.

I been on for 7 hours straight already. NO flickering no monitor giving out. I think it's a voltage issue with the card, every since I upped the voltage it has been fine.

Hour 4: Still No Flickering or Loss in video.


(I am running in extended mode)

Hour 3: Still No Flickering or Loss in video.


(I am running in extended mode)

Working from home today, I have been ok for about an hour again my voltage is upped on the card to 1187 via MSI tool

Update.... Voltage @ 1187 and it hasn't crapped out for over 6-8 hours. I will keep you guys posted.

Agreed

[quote]I dont know how it was different for me, but the Accell did work for me where the Bizlink didn't. Since noone seems to know/agree on what exactly the problem is, I say give the Accell a try as you can always return it if it doesnt work. Mine has been working two days so far ...
