I built a computer have a 600w 80+gold psu, amd phenom II x4 965 black 3.4 quad core cpu, 8gb 1333 ram, and a radeon 8670 gpu, the psu has 2 6 pins that I can use and that's what the gpu uses, I also have a radeon 6850 black which uses a 6 pin too but I dont have an extra and i wanted to crossfire them I purchased a 2 4pin molex to 6 pin adapter and installed that with the crossfire adapter and tried turning it on and it wouldn't work the fans would move a millimeter then stop and nothing I tried again and then I gave up on it, i took out the other gpu and unplugged the molex to 6 pin and turned it back on to use it and it worked everything was spinning with the fans and leds came on but the video wouldnt load I tried other gpu too and nothing tried on a tv and a monitor and couldnt load the screen did I break the GPU's or motherboard, is this a fixable problem?

I'm not made of money I built this computer for only 300

Ahhh.... I understand, Then try a Athlon 3000G, Its IGPU is better then your Dedicated GPU, also remember to get Dual Channel Memory, Its only 50$, and your current GPU+CPU can easily be sold for about 50$, So technically you are getting a better performing Computer For Free! :)

YES, I RUN RAID 1 OVER RAID 0

Do you know of anyway I can fix this or did I destroy the pcie slots on gpu or did I ruin the GPU's I tried both of them in both the pcie slots too

Okay... Try a single GPU on the first PCIE Slot as it has the most bandwidth

YES, I RUN RAID 1 OVER RAID 0

I did after I had them both in and nothing happened though I overpowered the system so I gave up and went back to one and it turned on but didn't display anything I tried it in both ports than I switched to the other gpu and still nothing
