Hey guys (and gals) having a little issue here. I installed Catalyst 13.10 beta 2 drivers today in hopes of it fixing my fps drop and stuttering issues with Battlefield 4, but when I got the drivers installed one of my monitors won't turn on anymore.

I have 3 monitors that are all the exact same make and model, i used to use them for eyefinity back in the day but now I only game on the center monitor and have chrome and others apps (ts, afterburner, etc) on the other two while I game. The monitor that is connected to the mini display port won't turn on with 13.9 official or 13.10 beta 2s. If i go back to 13.4 all the monitors function properly and as soon as I go to uninstall the catalyst drivers, the monitor will turn back on half way through the uninstall process.

Any ideas as to how to fix this or why it is happening

I'm assuming you tried both DP connections? Disconnecting-reconnecting, etc...? What have you done so far to try and trouble shoot the problem?

The problem seems to be only with my monitor that is connected via mini display port. The other two monitors are connected via dvi and work fine, the third one is connected via a dvi -> mini display port active adapter.

With no drivers installed and/or in safe mode all the monitors boot up. For some reason when 13.9 or 13.10v2 are installed windows or the video card won't detect my third monitor.

It's really weird because the monitor that's hooked up via mini display port works fine while booting up. I can see the bios screen, windows logo, etc but as soon as it actually gets to the desktop it shuts off.

I've tried both mini DP connections on the card with 3 different active dvi=>mDP adapters on all 3 monitors & the one that won't turn on is always the one that is connected to the mDP port
