Just hit the "reset to defaults" button on the ATI Overdrive tab to remove the overclock.

Hey akvabullet, I installed 12.3 beta and this mess started.
Uninstalled 12.3 and installed 11.12 = no change.
Set Skyrim settings to lowest with 1920X1080 resolution = no change.
Disabled all AMD overclock settings = no change.
Disabled crossfire = FIXED!

I am going to try a view things but what I can deduce is: since the screen flickers from pink to a normal gaming interface (intensity depending on FPS), and nothing on the desktop, there is a problem with crossfire.

hope this helps.

Ok now for an update:
No matter what setting you chooes (with crossfire disabled) everyting seems fine. Even plugged the monitor, I only have one, into the second GPU and still everything seems fine (without crossfire enabled).
Dare to turn crossfire on with the monitor in the second GPU and now everything flickers GREEN!
Depending on FPS the flickering moves faster or slower just as before.

Newbie Conclution: 12.whatever severely nerved crossfire even in Starcraft 2! And some file somewhere wont go away when uninstalling 12.3 and installing 11.12 because the problem persist.

I think because it flickers two different colors depending on what GPU you use (1st for pink and 2nd for green), I think this is some attempt to use that 3D thing everyone is talking about. This is what this idiot thinks.

Thanks for the laugh I hope this gave all of you some answers.
