Is the display port adapter an active adapter? That's generally the first issue that comes up.

yes the displatport is active when windows start up left and middle screens load up but when the loading is finished the left screen goes out and the right and middle screens are on

He means you need an "active adapter" like this one: Sapphire active adapter. The passive ones like this won't work. So what adapter do you have?

Just to make sure, often the passive and active adapters almost look identical. Is Active written on the adapter?
