    Just wondering if anyone else has run into this... I never tried my display port before the 7970m as I didnt have an adaptor. now I tried it and it works when i reboot the laptop but as soon as windows loads it kicks off and nothing will detect it.
    I tried the original vbios and svl7's modded vbios @1.0v and neither of them get it working.
    I also have locked sliders in msi afterburner and I am wondering if these may be related.
    I'm running the 12.8 amd drivers straight off the website.

    Everyone else seems to be having no issue but mine just wont go.
    I am running a 7970m Dell QS 2gb model.
