Hi it's me again. I came home to benchmark my current setup before my upgrades arrived and I have noticed that my crossfire setup is not working. I remember not too long ago I noticed that the crossfire option was gone from catalyst, but I thought it had just moved because of an update or something like that. I have also noticed that my games haven't been performing like they should, but figured my computer was just getting old.
I've been running two HD 5770s cross-fired for over a year with an AMD phenom II x4 965 BE CPU and ASUS motherboard.

When I googled the crossfire option being gone I saw the main reason is because crossfire is not being recognized so I started troubleshooting. I have swapped the cards around in the slots and tried to boot with the monitor plugged into each one. Lets call one card a blue one and the other a black one for example. When I boot with the monitor plugged into the blue one I get nothing, but with the black one plugged in all is normal. I completely removed the black one and I still can get nothing from the blue one even though the fan on it work and it is physically warm as if it had done "something". This makes me think the card just died, but I feel like it should have made a bit more of a fuss when it did because I really did not notice anything aside from small subtleties that I easily shoved aside.
Is the card really dead or is there something I'm missing. I tried uninstalling catalyst and re installing to no avail. It doesn't seem like drivers are going to do anything if the card can't be booted from.
