Displayport Error... PLEASE HELP!!

[MeSoAwe]

Hi Guys,

So im having a problem here..

I bought a new projector for my setup, my Graphics card has two DVI ports, one HDMI and one Displayport.

Up until now i've been using the HDMI port for my monitor but I now need to change his and use the Displayport for my monitor which also has a Displayport as the Projector will use up the only HDMI port.

However, when I connect the Monitor with the Displayport cable I get an error saying: displayport link failure.

I Dont know what the problem is, I've tried using another brand new cable and it still doesn't work. I updated all the relevant drivers.

Here are the Specs to my Rig:

CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor CPU
Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400
Memory Storage: Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Storage: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Asus Radeon R9 280X 3GB DirectCU II Video Card Case:
Cooler Master Storm Trooper ATX Full Tower Case Power Supply:
Corsair RM 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer
Monitor: AOC I2369VM 60Hz 23.0" Monitor


Would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with this!

Does that monitor even support displayport? the specs I can find says 1x VGA, 2x HDMI.

Your best bet probably would be to get a DisplayPort to HDMI (or DVI to HDMI) adapter and use that to drive the projector from the DP output on the GPU and leave the monitor on the HDMI.

Or simply use a displayport to hdmi adapter!

Hi Rroff,
I just realised that i made a mistake, My actual monitor is the AOC I2369VM model.

This does have a Displayport but still not working!

I plan to populate both the HDMI ports that come with the Monitor...
