Bottom line for me is:
[list]BIOS was the difference maker.
Adapter may or may NOT be the problem.[/list:u]

My advice - if you are having trouble, flash the BIOS at a MINIMUM. This is simple as dirt and if you have another video card you can always boot and flash it back.

If you ...

So can anyone speak for which of the 5770 bios' i should try on this Diamond 5770? Anyone out there flashed a 5770 to cure this ailment or has it all been 5870's so far?

Same question here except for the 5750. My current BIOS version is 012.014.000.004 and I do not know where to get an updated ...

Very possibly - my old router won't turn on if the room it's in gets too cold (or it does crazy stuff if it's on and temps drop too far...) I can understand that other hardware would similarly dislike cold environments.

I guess i should define "cold" as maybe 62-65 degrees or so. normally ...

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

Awesome to hear that -- fedex just delivered two AR-489's i ordered a few days ago.

Unfortunately I spoke too soon ...

What BIOS revision do yo have currently? You can check the revision of BIOS under the "Graphics Hardware" tab of the "Information Center" option of Catalyst Control Center.

012.014.000.004

And bad news -- last night seemingly out of nowhere the flicker came back after not showing ...

I had this same problem when i first tried driving two identical 1920x1200 LCD's with two identical Accell adapters attached to two identical XFX 5750's.

I installed the hydravision ccc plugin, rebooted, then swapped the monitor cables around (which shouldnt have done much since both Accell ...

So heres an update. It seems to be working perfectly now for some reason. not even a single flicker for an entire day.

All I seemingly did was install hydravision and swap which monitors each adapter was going to -- even though all of the Accell adapters are identical and all of the monitors ...

Dude you were so right -- I did a "System Restore" to a time earlier today, and bam the black and white screen was gone! I just cant believe it would follow that DVI port even after rearranging the cards. I had already scheduled an RMA with Newegg, glad I get to cancel it. I wonder how many RMA's ...

I am having the exact same black and white issue.

I have two 5750's and had two eyefinity groups created -- one of them consisted of two monitors in portrait, one above the other. I could not get eyefinity to put the corretc one on top, so i turned the computer off to workaround the issue by ...

Yesterday I recieved and hooked up the active Accel adapter to my 5750 to drive a 1920x1200 display, and it has major flickering issues. Every 2-3 minutes it turns off and on for a second or so, makes trying to read anything on that monitor maddening. I have tried using onboard USB and external ...
