I had a 1900 crossfire card set up that was working great. Then one day my media pc card broke and I replaced it with one of my duel 1900 cards. I then got a new card for the media pc. So I went to return my crossfire 1900 card back to the gaming pc. Just in time for crysis =D All of a sudden I got blue screens and crashes with the gaming pc. I did everything i can think of to get it to work. I reinstalled vista and I even replaced the power supply with a 800 watt one. No matter what I do I can not get the the cards to run as crossfire anymore. I tried catylist driver 7.7- 7.10 with clean installs. It will only read one or both will come up as vga adapters. I also tried to plug the dvi on the second non crossfire into the first or the second plug in and get nothing but nightmare issues.
 
I thought about it and it's not that. The 1900 I had was working great in the media pc. Also the crossfire one in my gaming pc works great with out it. It's just when I combine them now all hell breaks loose. With the blue screen and the crashes. I've had a crossfire set up from the first day it's been available and never have had this happen. They where only seperated for four days. Thats what made me think my 450 watt power supply may have been the issue. I've been working on this since yesterday afternoon. So i'm running out of ideas. I did have one break through last night hat's worth mentioning. At about 1:30 am I got both cards going recognized and I got crossfire to come up. I went to click the box and KABLAMO!!! blue screen crash happy fun time again. No luck wih it since then.
 
An update....
I actually got it to read in crossfire. Not sure how I did that. I wnet to overclock my cards and I set it a little to high and got a restart. When I came back it was messed up again. Now I can get the crossfire card to read right but the other 1900 always says standard vga adapter. No matter what I do I can't get it to read ati 1900 secondary again,:confused: Also if a mod wants to put me in the ati cards section they can. My bad =)
