AMD Crashfire

[Guest]

Hi everyone

 

I seam to have this unusual problem where my PC will crash every now and then while in crossfire and on YouTube, (although on this front I think its more Flashplayer rather than Youtube it just so happens that Youtube uses flash etc)

 

Basically when I use one card (and I have tried both) I have no problems however when both are enabled and in use I get this issue where every now and then when I begin to watch a Youtube Video the PC will suddenly crash with the screen going blank and the audio freezing and stuttering on the point where everything crashed,

 

I tried checking the error logs but they don't seam to pick up on anything relating to this, there is no log of an error or the PC being hard reset, only that it started up and went into Error Recovery after, any ideas what I can do? I know my motherboard (Z77X-UD4H) has a extra PCI lane power connector which is not in use, could enabling this help?

 

PC Spec

 

Gigabyte Z77X-UD4H

2x 2GB AMD Radeon HD7850s (also running 3 1080p Eyefinity Displays)

OCZ 700w ModXStream Pro PSU (80 plus bronze)

Do You OC if you do thats the problem and disable hardware acceleration i get this problem when i oc my cards to my max gaming oc and browsers dont like that so stock it and see how that goes. If nothing just disable crossfire for browser dont be lazy lol.

Thanks for responding, they are not Overclocked at all. Both are stock speed 860 mhz and thats the most they have ever run at, I have disabled Hardware Acceleration in Firefox and will see if this solves the problem,

Nope, its still a problem, is there not another soloution? I'd rather not have to keep enabling/disabling Crossfire.

Use the BETA drivers i think the latest beta driver is 13.5 Beta 5?

Try using youtube in HTML 5 rather than flash. disable the flash extension and goto www.youtube.com/HTML5 and join the HTML5 trial.

uninstall flash and redownload ? maybe. keep us updated.

I have a problem with AMD GPUs; my tower has a old 5570, but still should be able to play video properly... but no, it sometimes crashes on 1080p+ videos. When I tried to overclock it by a small amount it ended quite badly after 2mins. Once I tried to update the GPU and I got the BSOD.

 

Please don't respond to me by saying ", you only don't like AMD because you are a Nvidia fanboy", because my first 2 gaming computer were based on AMD and they were really good... while they lasted.

As i said before high overclocks are too much for browsers and if bsod happens it could be your hardrive but uninstall amd drivers first.
