Do you have the Crossfire bridges and power connected to each card?
impossible CF problem
so, when I built my computer a year ago I bought 2 visiontek ATI Radeon HD 3850s in hopes of setting them up in crossfire. Upon building my computer, I discovered that in my CCC program, I did not have a crossfire option. Since then, I have taken my computer to both best buy and fry's, neither which have been able to provide any advice. Eventually I convinced myself that it was my motherboards fault (MSI k9a2 platinum). Finally I bough another motherboard (exact same one) and I still have the same problem. I have reinstalled drivers, reinstalled windows, switched card positioning and everything, but nothing seems to make it work. HELP!

havent worked with that board in a while, but was there by chance a bios setting for somethign about that? multiple gpu's or something?

im not too knowledgeable about BIOS but I do not believe so
Run GPU-Z, tell us what it reads for crossfire.
Also check device manager for errors listed under display adapter.
