Alright. Finally, my right hinge is broken. Time to call Dell for a replacement LCD cover + hinge. *Used to thought mine is not among the affected batch*

Matter of time I suppose?
Try and look around and it's a very common issue among M11x. - -

sounds like a driver issue to me. Tried updating to the latest one? (10.8)

download latest driver
then go to CCC...put advance....Off/Disable advance A.I(work for me)
advance A.I is in 3d section

if the method above cannot solve the problem then:
Another way to solve this problem is to disable crossfire(it seem that crossfire is causing the missing unit problem)
PS:i also encounter this problem..slowly experiment all the stuff...found out that (#@$*&(*!@&(*!&@( AI is causing all the problem

Enjoy ur game!!
