Post subject:  just lost eyefinity across all three monitors
After crashing with the 11.1's I decided to go back to the 10.12a hotfix drivers. now I can no longer setup all 3 monitors. Have 3 HP lp2465s, and can still setup eyefinity across any two monitors, but can't enable the third. If I try to setup a group with all 3 monitors, the CCC comes to a complete halt. Process manager says its still running, but all controls become completely unresponsive except the red close box. Thought it might be my DP active adapter, but I have the single link saphire adapter as well as the Dell powered dual link. Like I mentioned, I can set up the SLS in any arrangement of 2, but no go for 3. Also, I can extend the desktop to all desktops, but it still acts like I'm using a passive adapter. Suggestions??

Suggestions??


Properly clean out your old drivers and registry before installing new drivers to insure no conflicts?

I'll try again. I had been uninstalling through the software manager and then using driver sweeper in safe mode, but I haven't done any separate registry cleaners. I'll keep checking.

ok guys got it going here. I didn't write down notes so I'm going to do the best I can. I uninstalled all drivers, ran driversweep in safe mode and reinstalled the 11.1. Uninstalled all monitor drivers and loaded generic PnP drivers. Went into CCC and disabled all extended,duplicate, and groups. Duplicate desktop to each monitor one at a time. THen create new group for all 3 monitors and it worked. Now I need to shut down and see if I can get the group going with HDMI instead of the second DVI started to use.

and one more update. It was the HDMI -> DVI-D adapter that had gone bad. Slapped on a straight DVI - DVI cable and all is good. Hope this helps some of you guys.

Why do all these fucking adapters go bad? Every other Eyefinity problem post boils down to a defective adapter.

I blame aliens in Roswell or maybe global warning. Your question is rhetorical. :lol:
