Overclocking 290x in crossfire

I've encountered a problem in my rig that I just now seem to have noticed.

 

Awhile back I had overclocked my GPUs and had no problems what so ever with them. I've done quite a few bench marks and realized that a few that I had went up to par with my previous tests. 

 

So I went into amd one drive and tried to overclock the cards again. This resulted in a black screen. 

 

After shutting the pc off I went ahead and booted up, moments after logging in I get a black screen.

 

The only thing I can think of that could be wrong is the drivers. I wouldn't be against having to upgrade to a new card, but I feel like it would be a waste since the whole system is watercooled and I spent $200 on waterblocks that I won't be able to reuse for another card.

 

 

 

System specs:

4770k stock speeds

maximux vi formula

2 290x's

corsair vengeance 1866

RM100 power supply

windows 7

 

 

Anyone have any ideas?

Are you trying to say that you overclocked it once, and then you overclocked it again after your Overclocked speed? Try lowering down the clockspeeds and validating it again.

Yeah I've had a pretty good overclock on them once before, but it has been reset, for how long I don't know, and now I can't seem to get anything out of them at all which is strange. I've never had a problem with them before, but everytime I go to use onedrive or afterburner I get a black screen.

Sometime OC ceiling differ from one driver version to another, enter safemode and disable overdrive. 

Highly recommend to overclock using 3rd party tool like MSI Afterburner.

I'll give afterburner another shot and see how it goes this time. 

 

Update:

 

3dMark didn't launch 

 

I got this error instead:

 

Unexpected error running tests.

Workload Single init returned error message: DXGI call IDXGIOutput::GetDisplayModeList failed [-2005270494]:
 
The requested functionality is not supported by the device or the driver.
