Second card showing up as Disabled so cant not crossfire

[a98pmalcolm]

Ok they used to be crossfired but not anymore. I havent no luck tonight

Ok in device manager it shows there are 2 HD4850 cards, In GPU-Z there is 2 but crossfire is disabled.
In CCC there is no option for enable them.
I think it was the update that made this happen so i reinstalled and still no luck. Both cards work perfectly and are powered up
Here is what it says in CCC information:

While I may be way off the mark here, did you not post another thread tonight saying a chip on your mobo went pop today? Just a wild guess that it could be causing this?

Aside from that, I believe that the secondary card shuts down when running 2d applications. Try firing up a 3d app and see if it helps?

Try the cards the other way round?

Just throwing out ideas!

All sorted now.

Ok what i did was totaly remove anything to do with ATI.
Then tryed to reinstall CCC. After installation i got an error with the ati driver fail.
Low and behold blue screen
Went into device manager and updated both card drivers that way.
Restarted the comp. And the crossfire tab was there and it was enabled, also with the info the 2nd driver is confirmed link not disabled.

Now the drivers are correctly installed lets see if i get blue screens.

Many thanks for the time again guys, this is simple stuff and im finding it all a rite challenge atm. All sorted now.
