Just finished up my 4k build a few days ago and have a question about how my displays boot / come on, on startup. Ever since day 1 if I have all 3 displays plugged in and start the machine they give me problems. One comes up and displays the bios message and after that they all go in sleep mode. Only fix I have found is unplugging one and turning the other one off. All of a sudden my main screen works. Next I plug #2 back in and it comes on. Then I power up #3 and I'm in business. I know it sounds confusing. Here is what I'm running.
3x dell up2414q monitors
2x 780ti
2 monitors run off displayport connections (one off each card) and the third is hdmi off of card 1.
I'm not running in sli mode. Any suggestions?

Note: monitors come on fine when computer wakes from sleep.
 
Are you using the NVIDIA 337.88 drivers? Don't use the 340.43 drivers - they seem to have removed the workarounds for the UP2414Q firmware bugs.

First time trying to show an image on this site. Hope it works

Sorry about the size. I'll mess with it when I get back to the desktop. And I am using the 337.88 drivers.

Yes, make it smaller. Put that pic in MS Paint and resize it down to 25%.
 
I was expecting to see a Logitech G27 racing wheel. :)

As for your problem - no idea - these Dell monitors are very flaky. I sometimes get color zones when the monitor wakes from sleep (one side is AdobeRGB, the other sRGB) even with zone turned off. I have to power cycle the monitor.

Sometimes the right side of the image has banded lines - I also have to power cycle the monitor to get a correct image. (A00). I see reports that people who have A01 also have the same problem. I have never in my whole life seen a display with these kinds of problems, and is widely reported on Dell's own community forums.

Beautiful image when it works though...
 
Oh - there is one more thing you can try - instead of using NVIDIA Control Panel to set up multiple displays, right-click on your desktop wallpaper, and select "Screen Resolution" and set up your monitors (again) using that. With luck, Windows own interface will make it stick for next reboot.

I am assuming Windows 7.
