hey,
i figured out that it seems to be possible to use 2 monitors while crossfirex is activated, as long as i plug in 1 monitor, enable crossfirex and then use the neighbour dvi slot.
anyway somehow under circumstances which i dont know, my secondary monitor just turns black while my primary monitor show strange vertical stripes... their colors change each time this is happening
i have the feeling its related to some overclocking, BUT when im using both monitors without crossfire or just 1 monitor with crossfirex this isnt happening even if they are also oc'ed...
both were stable at 700/1050, while crossfirex isnt combined with dual monitor usage...
does someone have a clue what could cause this problem ? oc might be a reason, but why is it stable at the other 2 setups 
?
driverproblems or a productionfailure also seem to be options to me but i dont know
system:
qx6700
asus p5q pro

corsair 650w
