OK i'm very tired of this reoccurring issue that is driver me absolutely INSANE
Every single time i restart my computer my Crossfire disables itself and my second video card stops being detected unless i spend 30 minutes, removing the card, uninstalling the drivers, re-installing the drivers, booting using computer for 5 mins(idk but if i won't do this it wont work), shutting down, putting the video card back in the case, booting up the computer and the card MIGHT start working....if not then i have to redo this all until it does detect.. ULPS is disabled both cards are HIS Radeon 6850's both cards have adequate power to each card (400 watt dedicated to the graphics cards alone(650 watt for rest of system))
This is driving me insane because i know both cards work, and both PCI Express 2.0 slots work fine(please note: no Crossfire bridge is put on since i mine cryptocurrencies frequently.)
I have had to redo the annoying process of getting the graphics cards to work properly 2x today and each time i had to do the above steps at least 2x (currently working on the forth attempt to get graphics card #2 to work ATM)
swapped both cards alreadyd 2x to ensure that niether one of them are bad, and they both work fine.......
I have found one other thread like mine but no solution was posted, and it was for crossfired 7970 video cards.
