    Hi guys

    This has probably been posted already but I have 3 monitors that until recently one of them stops working! The one that stops working is attached to the mini display port and doesn't turn on properly

    Some people are saying that it's because the graphics card is underpowered but I have a 1000watt power supply and others are saying to get a powered active display connector

    Anyoneelse has had this problem?

    Test monitor with another cable, maybe swap cables, if same monitor does not light up, it simply died.
    It's definitely not PSU issue.

    Nope checked all monitors etc... nothing like that, an error msg comes up on the ati catalyst control panel

    the error is this: "the system has detected a link failure and cannot set the requested resolution and refresh..."

    anyone had the same error with 3 screens?

    Why rule out the PSU? It's a terrible unit. 1000w for £50? It's bound to be bad. I'm assuming the PSU brand isn't Jentek but Jeantek.

    Well, if underpowered card was source I believe he would have crash/BSOD upon starting games/benchmarks.
    But interference is possibility even while it would be more likely from outer sources to DP cable.

    Just to let you know that this error has only come up after using the graphics card and psu togehter for 1-2years,

    been looking around and they say it is an AMD display port problem but bot sure how to fix it?!
