new HD7970 loses GPU Device

I have a new HD7970, and after awhile the GPU device disappears from the OpenCL device list.  Here's what clinfo says when that happens:

It doesn't do this upon a fresh reboot.  It's only after some amount of time that at some point, the GPU is just gone. 

Also (maybe related?) the machine now sometimes doesn't let me wake it back up after it has turned off the monitors.  I have found that with the new Radeon drivers for the new card that I have to disable the "turn off monitors" in the Power settings for the computer to keep working when I leave it alone for a few hours.

Any idea what's going on?

I have similar problem with two HD 7970.

Normally clinfo shows only CPU and one of the cards.

When I issue:

     export COMPUTE=:0

it shows all three  OpenCL devices - CPU and both GPUs.

Add the "export COMPUTE =: 0" in the file / etc / environment and all of OpenCL devices will be continuously visible in the system (only in my HD7970 connected to a monitor, a second HD6950 ... )

What's the windows syntax for that setting?

I have a basic HD7970 (connected to a monitor), and 6950 second (that does not support AMD Zero Core, it can not completely shut down), I do not have a problem in windows, and only needed for Linux to set variables to initialize a second video card ...

It is interesting to ask in AMD, as the 7000-series output from the disconnected state if it is not connected to the monitor?

Ok, I rebooted again, and now I have no GPU context at all, even from the beginning of a session.

What gives?  How do I fix my setup?

Same problem again with two HD 7970.

clinfo shows only CPU and one of the cards.

When I issue:

     export COMPUTE=:0

NOTHING CHANGES!

file etc/environment has that line as well...

This time it's Ubuntu 12.04
