3rd Monitor (MDP) Connecting and Disconnecting

Hey Guys,

I have a triple monitor setup with a HIS HD 7970 IceQ X² 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card. The 3rd monitor on an active DVI->MDP cable keeps connecting and disconnecting. Spending the majority of its time disconnected. These days I can't get it to stay on for even a few seconds. Previously it used to stay on but disconnect every hour or so. This increased with frequency to as it is now. It often shows itself in the screen settings or device manager, but sometimes doesn't.

Things I have tried:

New cable
Reseating GPU
Change GPU PCI-E slot

I'm wondering if I need to RMA the card or there's perhaps another issue at play?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
