Looking for Computer Technician to fix my Eyefinity / 3 monitor setup

Hi guys,

I have 3 monitors set up, hooked to a HD 5700. Everything worked perfectly until oneday the 3rd screen no longer worked. Can anyone recommend me a technician to help fix the problem? I believe it is due to a loose connection to the video card via the display port, but I don't know how to fix the connection as the videocard needs to be inside the pc for it to be powered on.

    Whereabouts are you located? What is your definition of a technician?

    If you wanted to try fixing it yourself, you could try swapping ports/monitors/cables to work out where the problem lies, whether it is the third port on the card that is not working, or a faulty monitor.

    • ^^ trouble shoot exactly where the problem lies
      cable/monitor/card/software even?

  • You have three monitors, with three cables. Swap those that are interchangeable to test if the cables and monitors work.

    If there's one particular output on the graphics card that doesn't work, see it as an excuse to upgrade - running three monitors off a 5700 won't give you particularly good frame rates, and seems overkill in terms of power usage for productivity.

  • Yeah like everyone else said, switch the cables and the monitor around to make sure it's not a problem with them.
    I'd update your drivers too.

    Is the video card under warranty?

  • there is a dramatic lack of information for us to do anything to help you.
