I have a haswell motherboard with 3 1080p monitors connected, 2 directly via HDMI and a 3rd HDMI connected to an active displayport dongle. The monitor on the displayport connection had been working fairly reliably until I decided to finally upgrade my bios to fix some other issues (big mistake, since I late found out its nearly impossible to downgrade). Since I upgraded the monitor nearly never works, I did get it to show display a few times but I'm not sure how that happened. At the moment while researching information to add to this post it actually started working for the moment. When I run xrandr it causes the screens to blink rapidly for around 30sec-1min.
In dmesg I see instances of:
[ 10.053292] [drm] HPD interrupt storm detected on connector DP-1: switching from hotplug detection to polling
[ 240.125029] [drm] HPD interrupt storm detected on connector DP-1: switching from hotplug detection to polling
Also fwiw I get different errors, and a kernel backtrace, but still no display on current drm-intel-nightly from here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-nightly/
And of course it all still works fine under Windows 8.1.
Searching google I see other instances of people with the same problem on the i915 driver on other systems like ThinkPad, etc.

At the moment while researching information to add to this post it actually started working for the moment. When I run xrandr it causes the screens to blink rapidly for around 30sec-1min. Most of the time the system is unresponsive while the monitor is plugged in. It appears to occasionally cause the entire desktop to stop responding until the mate-session is killed.
