I have a Sapphire reference 6950 that up until yesterday was working wonderfully over my 3 monitors @ 1*5760*1080 or 3*1920*1080. Yesterday I resumed it from sleep and the middle monitor attached via a mdp -> dp -> active dp -> dvi connector, wasn't displaying. Now this has happened previously so I unplugged the mdp connector & plugged it back in which normally resets it. But this time no joy. So I reboot & still no joy.
Nomally when I boot one of the dvi monitors displays post info & this is also diplayed on the monitor connected via dp, but it stopped doing this. So this kinda indicated that there is a hardware fault. I have the latest ccc, have flipped the bios switch on the card & still can not get it to work. Have tried both mdp slots, different monitors on different cables, rolling back ccc to previous version etc.
I can't find anything useful from google, so I thought that some of you guys could maybe come up with something. I think its either the gpu, mdp to dp adapter or active dp adapter that's faulty. How can I tell which one it is as I have no way of testing or swapping out individual components.
Any help would be much appreciated as this is driving me nuts....
EDIT:
Forgot to add that if I plug the dp based monitor in, then one of the dvi monitors goes blank, and then on unplugging it again I get a displayport link failure error from ccc.
