Sounds like you need a baby or two to punch, joker...

Try this:
1. Uninstall CCC and everything ATI-ish. Do not restart.
2. Driver Sweeper (use 2.9.0). Restart.
3. Control panel - Device manager - Display Adapters. Right click and uninstall. If it asks you if you want to delete driver software, say yes.
4. Restart.
5. It will detect the cards - let it, then restart when it prompts you.
6. Download CCC 10.10 (this one has always played nicely with me).
7. Install 10.10. Restart.
8. It should prompt you if you want to use Crossfire - leave that box checked.
9. BOINC should see two cards. Hopefully...

huh....must be screwing up the data somehow. I NEVER have a screen saver - it takes some CPU power that could be going to my BOINC account! heh! I always just go into the power settings and make it turn off the monitor after 5 min.
See if that works for you, maybe?

+1 You could have the screen go blank or have it go sleep.

Ok Max, your instructions got me up and running again. Thank you! I tried the 10.9, 10.12, and the 11.2 drivers and none of them worked. Only the 10.10 ones. Now.......will the new cards play nice together and crunch full time....stay tuned to find out!

Update: The GTX 465 in its first FULL day of running (about freaking time) at stock settings (ok with a 100MHz overclock) has produced just over 400K credits today. Not bad for $140. I wish they were still in stock so all of you could buy one.

Happy to have "most" of my video cards working. Just to throw it out there.....anyone got an extra AM2 motherboard with at at least one PCI-E Slot laying around? I still have a 5830 card sitting on my desk because one of my systems wont run high end cards and the rest of them are full. It would replace a 4870 so it would add an additional 100K+ to the team.
