In your C:Usersyourusername there is a hidden folder called appdata. If you cannot see it, you can go into folder options and activate "show hidden files and folders". Within that folder, go to localatiace . This is where CCC stores the settings. Delete profiles.xml (or move it to another location) and open CCC. If you make any changes in CCC, a new profile will be created automatically. See if your Eyefinity settings are gone if you remove the profile.

Interesting file this profiles.xml, especially this:






























Although i can not up vcore in overdrive, it seems possible in the profile.xml with ??

EDIT: can't seem to find any reference within profiles.xml to my "profiles". There is a folder named PROFILES in the ACE folder.
Here are xml files placed with my profile names.

I'm on the brink of installing 10.4a, will delete the complete ACE folder and report back!

Okay, just installed 10.4a.. so far so good.

Removed ACE folder: last desktop setting is displayed again including shortcut-positions .. Must be a registry thing, creepy....
I mean, all Eyefinity profiles are gone, just the last Eyefinity configuration is in effect again..?

Now it is just the waiting game if and when the DP screen starts blinking, will report!

Well, did a lot of testing this afternoon after installing 10.4a..

Few rounds of DIRT 2 benchmarking, everything A-OK. Then i just started doing some work with Solidworks 2010 and suddenly after an hour or so the blinking started again! Unplugged and plugged DP -> no blinking..

Restarted PC and after one hour of DOW II: my DP started blinking again. closed DOW: no blinking.

Then tested with Heaven 2.0 and discovered that when i run it for a long period (like one hour) the DP monitor would start blinking again.... When i close Heaven 2.0 blinking stops (so no problems in 2D). Run the benchmark again for 30min-1hour, blink-blink.. Close down -> OK.

Never had this problems with 10.3b. And cooling is just fine, card max 40c and CPU core max 26c.. (you just gotta love water :D )

Well i'm back to the old routine, blinking all over the place..
No difference anymore between 10.4 and 10.4a.

Just ordered a 1000mA USB power adapter, maybe this will help (i already had one, a 500mA)..

In the mean time i will revert to 10.3b :(

How about using the USB ports on your monitors, they should be powered.

Really? So they are powered by the monitor's powersupply then? Never knew..
I'll will try this after work..

The only problem with the USB ports on the monitors is that usually monitors are farther than 1 foot from the computer (yay cables!).

I bought a PS3 USB AC adapter, it supplies 500mA to 2 channels. The blanking still occurs. I just ordered 2 (they are stupid cheap) "KODAK TESA5G1-0501200" 1000mA adapters from NCIX. I'll let ya know how that goes.

Update: You guys must have ordered a lot of them, the price went up from 7$ to 10$!

After playing DOW II for 1.5 hours with one blanking monitor i decided to roll back to 10.3b.
10.4 WHQL and 10.4a gave a nice 2D performance boost, but that doesn't weigh against the blanking..

So far (8 hours) not a single blank from 10.3b...................

Confirmed working are now 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 WHQL, 10.3a and 10.3b.. No blanking whatsoever.

Is there a software side that can lower the voltage drive strength of the DP of the card??

I think i wait until 10.5 is released and then try again..

10.4 and 1.4 a seem to re-break the problems the problems that were solved with ccc10, lol. 10.4 runs for about 2 min and my DP monitor crashes.. 10.4a runs for about 10min and crashes my dp monitor.. 10.3, never have to restart or unplug my DP monitor :D
