Hi MST1407,

Thanks again for the reply. Not sure how to check the firmware for the Asus VS247H-P.
I am not sure where else to go with this. When Club 3D does their testing for this hub, what is their setup? Do they have any recommended configurations that they have tested and know works?

Thanks again,

Brandon

Thank you for the response. The cables are all under 3 meters and are not active cables. The bios and the R9 290 card are up to date. Yes, the hub does need to be power cycled with 5 monitors in order to work, though still not completely stable. Not sure where to find the firmware version, being connected though the GPU….

The serial number is 60201512140011. Not sure if you can find what firmware was shipped with this unit….

Thanks,

Brandon

Eko,

Has this been resolved? If so, I would love to hear the solution.It sounds like I am having the same problem. I have been battling this for about a year now. I am going to jump on to this thread, if you don’t mind….

MST1407,

The three monitors off the R9 290 card work fine. I cannot get any monitors on the MST hub to work properly. I can get two monitors working on the MST hub, though will not all be active if you restart the computer. In addition, I cannot put the computer to sleep, being the computer will not come out of sleep. This only happens when monitors are connected to the MST hub. If i attempt to get 3 monitors going off the MST hub (total of 6 monitors), the system becomes unstable and the screens constantly flash. 

I was hoping with the release of Crimson and Windows 10 that this would be fixed. No luck.

Playing with the preview, I do like what they have done to combine Windows 7 features hiding a lot of the Windows 8.1 features in the background. I look forward to the new system. As Vinnie said, I am excited to see how DX12 develops, especially with the hope of unified gaming.

Hi Paul,

Sorry for the delay. The problem seems to be constantly transforming. It is difficult to even get 6 monitors going now. If I can get five monitors up, I must manually turn off and on one of the monitors to get it to recognize it. Otherwise, all screens keep flashing as if another monitor is added, though it cannot find it.

I have disabled PLL overvoltage (re-enabled to try to see if this resolves my current issue) without any change. This seems difficult to diagnose, being it seems to be a combination of the MST hub (being cycling of the power is necessary) and poor catalyst software (first time dealing with AMD software and cards. Not happy).

Again, thanks for all your patience, quick responses, and help. Let me know if you have any other ideas to fix this.

Hi Paul,

Thank you, again, for the response! Yes, this brings back all (6) screens. Though, after the computer is shut down for any greater than approximately 5 minutes, the issue repeats itself (no MST hub monitors).

As a band-aid, with the computer off, I cycle power to the MST hub and all (6) screens come on once booted up. Given the computer is off, doesn’t this sound like an MST hub issue, rather than a motherboard/driver issue?

I appreciate all your help with this issue, though I am running out of time. May 30th is the deadline for me to return this unit.

Thanks

Hi Paul,

In addition, I am finding that once I have all 6 monitors working, I can put the monitors to sleep (not HD sleep) and they will come back without an issue. If I restart the computer or shut down and boot up immediately, there is not an issue. If I shut down for approximately 5 minutes or more, the MST hub monitors will not come on. By shutting the computer down and cycling the power to the MST hub, then booting up the computer, I will get my 6 monitors back.

To get all 6 monitors working initially, I need to plug in only the MST hub monitors. Once up and running, I will then plug in each additional non-hub monitor one by one.

Thanks again.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the response. The suspend mode is set to S3. I am using a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 and am using (6) Asus VS247H-P monitors. Being that I am running HDMI from the MST hub, the DP setting issue with some monitors would not be an issue, correct?

Again, thanks for the help!
