Odd monitor behavior
I have a three monitor Eyefinity system. Starting about a week ago, when I boot my computer the two screens on the left come on but the screen on the right remains black with no input going to it. After maybe 15 minutes or so, all three monitors go black for a few seconds as if Eyefinity is or something booting and the monitor on the right comes on. Everything goes to how it should be.
I have reseated the video and power connectors at the monitors and the graphics cards. I have the most current Catalyst drivers. I have no idea the cause. What might I try? Could this be an indicator that I have a graphics card that is failing? The specs for my system are in my signature.

every once in a while my single monitor will do that.
( times out of 10 it comes out of sleep and the monitor wakes and 1 time it doesnt. I either have to force it by hitting Enter (to log in) or hit control, alt, delete... if that doesnt do it then i just unplug the video cable from the video card and windows Dings and I plug it right back in and it comes on... I havent figured it out but its done the same thing with my MSI GTX275 as it has on my XFX HD5830 and two different monitors so it has to be an OS issue

You might try swapping cards, put the card in the second slot in the first and use it as the primary.

I like that idea. If there is a difference then it's the card going bad.
