Shut the computer down and put one graphics card back in the first PCI-E slot. Clear the CMOS with the jumpers (leave it for about 15 seconds). Boot it up and use default BIOS settings. See if that works. Then you can try installing drivers and changing BIOS settings.
On a side note - I am having issues installing drivers. It currently says the catalyst version is not available. I upgraded from 12.1 to 12.4 before and it said I sill have 12.1. I know from past experience with AMD/ATI drivers that you need to uninstall the old ones before installing new ones but I'm still getting trouble. My card is artifcating a little though so I know I'm having driver/ccc troubles because of that. I would be a little suspicious ofone or both of your cards being damaged. Try installing one with the method I suggested and if it don't work then run through it again with the other card. Make sure to unplug the PSU from the mains and always use an anti static wrist band when handling components or you risk damaging them. Also it is easy to accidently remove AMD/ATI chipset, and possibly even CPU drivers when you use those driver cleaners. You may want to reinstall your chipset drivers and check the CPU drivers are installed properly in task manager before moving onto the GPU drivers.
That's about all I can think of right now but I will try and help further if you need it. Good luck

Reinstalling mobo chipset drivers solved this issue.
*Booted off onboard
*Installed mobo chipset drivers (onboard gfx, usb, chipset, and some other randoms) -- rebooted twice during this process
*Powered off system; installed one 5770, plugged in monitor to 5770
*Powered on, it booted into Windows fine
I noticed some screen flickering when I was working in lightroom briefly. I think I still have to uninstall CCC and reinstall new drivers. This time I wont be using a driver cleaner because I'm so paranoid.
Thanks for the help! I will keep you guys posted if something breaks during the update...
