Synopsis

CRJ700 First Officer reported the aircraft EICAS system failed in flight but was able to continue to the destination.

Narrative

During the climb out from ZZZ; crew received a DISPLAY COOL caution message on the Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS). FO was PF and identified the message and called for the QRC/QRH for DISPLAY COOL. CA was PM and referenced the QRC and QRH and the display cool message extinguished prior to 60 seconds after selecting FLT ALTN. A few minutes later the CA lost his Multi-Function Display (MFD). CA followed QRC/QRH for MFD failure with negative results. CA and FO discussed a plan and agreed that FO would remain PF since CA MFD was inoperative. Just prior to the arrival; FO MFD was lost and QRH procedures resulted in both MFDs being inoperative. Aircraft had veered off course momentarily and ATC inquired if we were going direct to ZZZZZ and crew corrected back on course to ZZZZZ. CA advised ATC we were troubleshooting our display screens and may require assistance with navigation. CA and FO discussed diverting to the nearest suitable airport as per QRH. After consulting dispatch; the crew decided to proceed to destination since the aircraft had already begun the descent on the STAR into ZZZ1. CA assumed duties as PF. Crew [requested priority handling] with ATC requesting assistance with navigation; notified the flight attendants with brief items; and did not request ground assistance in ZZZ1. ATC vectored the crew the rest of the flight for an uneventful ILS approach and landing to [Runway] XXR at ZZZ1. Aircraft was a CRJ-700 without VNAV. Aircraft taxied to the gate and a normal passenger deplaning followed at the gate.Failure of the Display Fans likely led to the failure of both MFDs.suggestion: MFDs are a high failure item and are in the process of being replaced. New screens will likely resolve this failure.
