My issue has been fixed.

What I did?


Swapped DVI cables...I was usiing a Thicker more shielded cable. So i switched to a thinner DVI Cable.

I took the USB power from the Displayport and I routed it to a USB powered HUB that takes DC power.

Well IT HAPPEND AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But took a lot longer?

How long is your DVI cable that comes out of the adapter? If it's long, use a shorter cable. That's what i had to do when I was using a 10' from my triplehead2go.

i have the same adapter from dell... the bizlink adapter. Both dvi inputs work flawlessly... however when i hook up the displayport-dvi adpater to any of the monitors, it starts to mess up... it will turn off and on and off and on... its insanely annoying. Anyone figure it out yet?

I think it may be just a faulty displayport-dvi adapter...

bump....

anyone figure out what is causing the monitor connected to the displayport via a bizlink displayport to dvi adapter to turn off and on like it loses a connection?

Yea, i tried several different dvi cables... all of them dual link.

After seeing that this is a problem with the Displayport and the adaptor, I was wondering what everyone was talking about, as I too have 3 monitors and all of them are DVI inputs so I am using the Active adpator much like everyone else but mine is made supposedly by seawell where I ordered it from.

When I start a game the displayport monitor goes off for a second, as I'm using Vista x64 Premium it shows that the Windows Color scheme was changed by the running progam FSX when it started.

So I changed to the Windows Standard Color Scheme and it no longer does this.

Not sure if this is what everyone is talking about or not.

I experience same problem with the active displayport adapter from dell (bizlink) and 5870 from Gigabyte. 3rd monitor connected to the displayport adapter blinking off then on with no principle. Sometimes no blinking long time sometimes very often.

I think it's the adapter or 5870 issue. If we see someone with 100% stable triple eyefinity config working other brand adapter (not dell/bizlink) we can figure out the adapter's issue.
