Amd Auto detect and windows both think I have the latest drivers, Radeon settings thinks otherwise

Picture pretty much sums it up.
I've got 2 7870's and an 8350, all at stock settings and I just did a fresh install of windows 7. I am trying to install AMD drivers to get things up and running, and AMD keeps telling me I have no drivers installed, contrary to what I have downloaded and what their auto detect tool is saying. I have tried uninstall all AMD software and reinstalling, to no avail, and I'm looking for some help. Thanks in advance.

You might want to give your AMD driver logs over to AMD. Crimson is still in beta and while it does run pretty well, can have errors like what you are seeing. You can also revert back to CCC until Crimson comes out of Beta. As of right now, you video card is on the older side and any company, especially one as small as AMD, is going to prioritize their newer cards. Nvidia has the same sort of issues and GTX 780 users have reported quite a few performance issues.

You can also try switching your video cards around in their motherboard slots to see if that helps at all.

Ah no i suppose I should change that, it was there as a joke because every time theres a driver update crossfire stops working. The cards themselves are fine, but I keep getting driver issues with windows and amd.
