Guys,

I have a 295x2 installed in my computer (for gaming) and a Firepro (for 10bit graphics work), everything is working and the firepro is disabled in CCC until I want to use it. However I get the occasional black screen - just for 1 or 2 seconds, I assume some kind of detection is going on. It also happens if I disable the firepro in device manager. All happening on Windows 8.1.

I personally wouldn't install two different cards on the same computer, regardless if its disabled. Using both drivers could possibly cause conflict. I have never mixed Firepro GPUs with Radeon GPUs together. Try taking out the Firepro GPU and see if it still goes black for a few seconds. When does is usually go black?

Taking it out and everything does work fine when in everything is detect and functions fine, apart from this occasional black screen for a couple of seconds. Not sure what's causing it no real pattern I'm assuming something in Windows or the CCC is doing a auto detect on displays
