Help! Black screen after enabling Crossfire

[GideonP]

I just received my 6870x2 today and it's been great. Games work wonderful and very happy. But Cryostasis was acting weird so I wanted to try to disable CF to troubleshoot. Well it didn't solve the issue so I said whatever and re-enabled CF. That's when my screen went black and now even restarting the computer won't fix it. I can boot into safe mode and it works but in safe mode it won't let me access CCC to enable/disable CF and I also can't uninstall the driver! What do I do??

You could try hitting F8 as windows starts and selecting last known good windows configuration.
Might break you out of this loop for now.

That didn't work. Had to look up how to enable using Window's installer service within Safe mode, then got ATIman Uninstaller, and I was able to boot into Windows. Reinstalled the drivers and everything seems OK now.

That was the first and last time I'm disabling crossfire >.< What a pain, honestly...

Last good might work, but are you sure it's not outputting to one of the other outputs and only switches once Windows loads up?

Haven't had to for graphic drivers but there generally are tricks to uninstalling drivers in Safe Mode so something should turn up of you google

make sure that your CF bridgeon the two cards did not come loose.
