problem with my 3 screen setup

Post by hudeck »

i`ve got a problem but i am also new in the eyefinity world.

so here is my setup before i will tell you a little story about my problem :)

3 LG E2350E-PN screens
1 asus ATI EAH 5870 graphicscard
intel icore7 920
6GB memory (1666mhz)

and now my problem story

i wanted to use these 3 screen for gaming and for my work.
but i got a problem with my monitor that is connected to my active displayport adapter (bizlink)
the screen is blinking like crazy.
i`ve read the faq about some trouble shooting and the blinking of the screen.
i tried it al older drivers and also made me a y-usb cable.
But what i found out is when i uninstalled the display drivers and used the driver sweeper.
Rebooted the computer and the screen on the display port works fine until i install the original graphicscard drivers and the screen on the display port adapter begins to blink again.

so now i realy do not know what to do and i am hoping that you guys and girl (the experts) can tell me what i can do more.

thanks

Well, you could trying a buying an IPAD or IPhone charger as those carry more Voltage and more amps. But honestly i'd just go ahead and buy a sinle-lnk active dvi adapter. They can be had for $30 on newegg.

It all depends on where the problem lies. Well it says it's an active adapter, we'll see.

i was thinking the same thing, so i orderd a new cable adapter from mini displayp to the normal one.

because the new graphicscard has mini diisplay and not the normal displayport.

keep you all posted
