Post subject:  Monitors randomly switch position (left becomes right) and turns off and on [solved]

Hi,

I've been getting this issue since I upgraded motherboard and added another graphic card (Old motherboard didn't support Crossfire).
I'm running of a fresh Windows 7 install on a brand new SSD, and the problem exist with both 12.6 beta and 12.7 beta drivers.


The computer randomly turns all monitors off and on, and I also get the Windows hardware-disconnection sound (Like when you unplug a USB flash drive).
If I'm running a video in fullscreen on Monitor 2 when the monitors turns off and on, the video will return on Monitor 3. Sometimes my application windows will switch around as well.
It also happens when gaming, which I find the most annoying, and the games sometimes get minimized or turns in to a windows - or even crashes. It happens both when I run the game on 1 monitor or with eyefinity on 3 monitors, with the fourth as an extended desktop.

Anyone had any similar issues?


All help appreciated!

System info:
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Asrock 990FX extreme4
2x Gigabyte HD7950 Windforce x3
4 monitors, 3 running at 1920x1080 and 1 at 1920x1200, conneted as follows:
[Monitor 4 w/ DVI] - [Monitor 2 w/ HDMI] - [Monitor 1 (Primary) w/ mini-DP to DVI] - [Monitor 3 /w mini-DP to DVI]
And I switch between running all four as extended desktop and running monitors 1 - 3 in eyefinity with the fourth as extended.



EDIT:
Seem to have solved the problem by switching out the Mini-DP adapter on one of the monitors.
Am now running with 2 XFX DVI Single-Link to Mini-DP adapters.
