Monitor not being detected

My R9 290 will not detect my monitor through a DVI single link cable, no adapters, this has been a problem in windows 7 and 10.

Can only get the monitor to work in safe mode and in BIOS

Go into safe mode... go to device manager. Show hidden. Delete all gpus/graphics adapters.

Reboot into regular windows. Install drivers.

Tried it, ive even done fresh installs of windows and then drivers, didnt make a difference
