problem with my 3 screen setup

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.

this one : Club 3D Adapter Mini-DisplayPort op DVI-D (18+1)

but i also talked to the shop were i bought the graphicscard and they tolded me that there could be a defect in the displayport.

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

Well then, it's an adapter issue.

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

may help or not. but my lg monitors have a setting in the montors menus for set id which i had to change as the 3 monitors were all set to id 1 by default, so could not group them till i gave each monitor a different id, ie 1, 2, and 3.
