Hi guys,

Seem to never stop having an issue with this PC at the moment, I start to wonder why I gave up consoles for it :mad:

I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 yesterday, first thing that was strange was the 13.10 drivers I installed kicked up a fuss with Windows, an error would appear saying that no AMD devices were recognised and there were yellow exclamation marks on device manager, I messed around and eventually got them installed OK. I then never noticed but Crossfire wasn't enabled, I enabled this and then my PC rebooted, upon reboot I got the AMD error again saying no devices found, again more messing about and it was working, however it could only see two GPU's.

I started testing each GPU and they all worked fine on their own and in Crossfire but the 3rd would not show up in device manager nor would it be recognised in afterburner, cataylst etc.

Not sure what to try? The GPU is all powered on, the slot it's on in the mobo works fine in Crossfire.

I have had Trifire working perfectly fine in Windows 8 btw.
 
Maybe it's an issue with the latest beta? I'm not sure if anybody else here is running 3x7970s. Try removing all the drivers using AMD's tool, then install the first 13.10 beta to see if that fixes it.
 
Gotta love PC's, reinstalled the driver and hey presto, worked....for how long who knows? :D

I had tried this previously.
