I'm losing my mind here. I have

Asus P9x79 Deluxe
intel 6 core 2011
32GB ram
HAF-x 942
Sapphire 6970 x2
Dell Ultra 2711 2560x1440

My problem is anytime my computer goes to sleep or is restarted the resolution defaults to 1920 x 1080 refresh 24 hertz

I've searched and searched the net, also spoke to AMD twice. first guy told me my mini display is bad. second guy told me to uninstall every trace of graphics drivers.

Neither of the fixes fixed it. however when I log in and disable crossfire then re-enable it, it seems to work fine until it sleeps or restarts.

Any help would be awesome.

Note this is due to the fact that your GPU control panel sets the resolution to 2560x1440 But in Windows it is only 1920x1080. And when awakening from sleep or turning on it defaults to the Windows setting.

Go in your GPU control panel and add the resolution (2560x1440) to the windows List. then set the resolution to 2560x1440 from Windows.

Sorry for the delay in response, I have been out of town. No the OS auto detects it and since I have completely removed all traces of the older driver it still issues the loss in connection but does not actually revert to the 1980. Is there a chance that the AMD drivers are the problem or that crossfire just doesn't work? Or perhaps one of the cards are bad?
