I really have no idea what is going on and am in desperate need of help.
I have 4 Sapphire 290x cards on an ASUS RIVF motherboard. I finished building this system about a week ago and it has been running flawlessly until today.
Today I decided to crossfire 2 of the 4 cards together in catalyst control center. The second I applied the change to the cards, my display went blank and one of the lights next to the PCI-E lane switches on the RIVF board went off.
I'm not sure if it's the card or the PCI-E slot but now the card in slot-1 isn't working. The light next to the slot-1 lane switch isn't lit up and neither of the display ports are working.
The biggest problem is that the computer is water cooled so I can't simply remove one of the video cards and test the slot. All 4 cards are connected together in the loop so I would essentially need to tare the entire system down, drain the loop, put it back together and fill it up just to test the slot.
I really don't see how simply enabling crossfire on 2 of the cards could kill the gpu or the PCI-E slot. Anybody have any suggestions? I haven't messed around with overclocking or anything like that. I've just been running the system at stock for the last weak and testing everything out (running flawlessly until this).
Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.
