What 3 monitors are you using (DVI, HDMI, DP, VGA)? Note that there are only 2 PLLs for non-DP monitors, so if you are trying to use more than 2 non-DP monitors, it's not supported right now and if it worked before, it was random luck.  If you want to use 3+ monitors, only 2 can be non-DP, the rest need to be DP.  If you use a DP to DVI/HDMI adapter, it must be active (looks like DP to the GPU), passive adapters just pass through native DVI/HDMI.  That said, I've got a set of patches for 3.7 to allow PLL sharing properly for non-DP displays, but it's too invasive for -fixes.
