What am i doing wrong

[Usuzel]

I have tried numerous times to get 3 monitors running but fail each time. The 3rd monitor is recognized by windows however that's as far as i get.

I have Windows 10 and i am trying to connect my BENQ M2700HD monitor as the 3rd, my card is an AMD Raedon HD 6800.

What error do you get?

What error do you get?

I dont get an error as such.
I connect the monitor to the PC via the mini DP-active DVI adapter, i open the window display settings and see the monitor but i cannot extend the display to it nor can i do anything with the monitor. I have also tried configuring the Eyefinity software but that does not even recognize the 3rd monitor.

You're certain it's an active adapter?

If you unplug one of your other displays (and continue using the DP adapter), does it work then?

If it's this one, I don't think it's active.
