    DSC_0048.jpg hi guys, i have an issue with the M17x R2 display. yesterday, after i helped my friend to clean and repaste his M17x R2, the display appears to be bluish and if looked closely it appears to be thin blue vertical lines. the blue vertical lines suppose to be black in colour as during boot up, at alien logo the entire screen suppose to be black except the alien head logo.

    as i cant find any solution, i decided to head home 1st as it is very late in the night and solve it by tomorrow. then, i was told by my friend that GPU-Z is showing that crossfire is not enabled, and in Catalyst Control Center there is no crossfire option anymore.

    can someone help me to identify the issue?

    Can't really see the blue lines on the picture.

    If there is no option at all first make sure both GPU's are detected.

    Then go reseating them, checking CF cable.

    Does it happen on an external monitor?
