    Are you trying to crossfire two Asus HD 6670's and are you using the Crossfire cable (if you still require those these days)?
    the crossfire cable would still be needed if he was doing crossfire with 2 dedicated cards, but I don't think he has two HD6670's. I think he is trying to use the integrated graphics in the APU chip (a CPU and GPU combined) and a single HD6670. This is called Hybrid Crossfire

    Never thought that was possible. So I suppose that setting is only available within the BIOS then? Guess I am of no use here hah!

    No what it is. Is with the AMD A10-5800K Trinity 3.8GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 100W Quad-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 7660D You can run in Dual graphics which is what im trying to do, however since I put the 6670 into the PC I can't access the Bios to try and make the dual graphics run

    Have you tried plugging the monitor cable into the back of computer instead of through HD 6670? see if BIOS shows up there...

    Can you post a screenshot of the Mainboard tab?

    How do I get the screenshot of the main board tag? Yeah and since I installed the card it only reads that now. when I try to plug back into the APU I just have black screen (it defualts to the card now)

    In CPU-Z, you took a screenshot of one Tab (for CPU) if you go back into it, you will see at the top a tab for mainboard. that will show what BIOS you have and what version it is updated to and some other good info.

    Also, for the GPU-Z, there is a drop down box at the bottom where it says HD 6670, see if there is another entry in there. and post a screenshot of the page for that entry.

    Going forward for the BIOS, you might need to take out the 6670, reset the BIOS and plug in the monitor to the mobo port. Not sure if a full uninstall of the 6670 drivers and all would need to be done. this should get you back to a point where you can see the BIOS. I am not certain of this though....

    also, the tab for the 6670 in GPU-Z says that Crossfire is disabled. This setting needs to be turned on in BIOS: How to Enable Hybrid Crossfire in the BIOS | eHow.com

    Yeah I did see the disabled thing but it should be because I can't access the bios to try and change it.
