    Multi Display problem

    Recently I upgraded my GPU from 7950 to 390, also upgrading to the Crimson crap drivers. I have run Eyefinity for years(3 monitors), but now if I have the monitors turn off or if I just turn one off.... when they turn back on all reset. Turn the middle one off/on, the others reset and crash my game. Anyone know how to fix this? Besides saying keep the monitors on lol

    This is a longshot, but I had a similar problem when I replaced my monitors recently. The issue fixed itself when instead of using a DVI-DVI + HDMI-DVI to connect the monitors I switched to a DVI-DVI + HDMI-HDMI set-up. Apparently whenever the card had to convert the signal it temporarily registered the second monitor as not connected and caused a reset. This also occasionally caused the monitors to be unable to wake up from sleep properly and remain in a lit but blank screen.

    Messing with it, it seems to be the only the middle monitor that does it. I can turn the other two off/on without resetting

    I solved that particular problem by setting my ATI cards in the trash and going back to NVIDIA.
