My first post here, aside from the hello post, and I'm actually here because of this problem. Well that, and a friend of mine is a mod here and told me to come here. So the problem is, is I've got 3 mixed monitors setup through eyefinity. I've got two HD 797's hooked up in crossfire, but every single game I have crashes during the game's intro video and locks up my entire pc whenever I have crossfire enabled. All of the games run fine across the three monitors when crossfire is disabled, but the frame rates suck. At most, I average around 25fps. I mean it's enough to play the game, but not enough to really enjoy it on 3 monitors. I've checked Google for hours and can't find anyone that's having the same problem as me or a solution to my problem. So anyone ever heard of this or know a solution? PC rundown is as follows: AMD FX 8120 (water cooled) 8gb of ram 2 AMD HD 7970 3gb in crossfire 1,000w PSU 3tb hdd 250gb ssd Windows 7 64bit AMD CCC 14.12 using the display drivers that came with it. The three monitors from left to right in my setup: Acer 21" 1650x1050 at 60hz AOC 27" 1920x1080 at 60hz Asus 27" 1920x1080 at 60hz |

You might try the new drivers from AMD, which now support different size monitors. |

I'll try downloading the latest beta drivers when I get home. I didn't think it'd be an issue since thwbdrivers that came with the latest version of CCC are newer than the latest beta drivers. But I'll give it a shot and update with the results. |

Can you run the cards crossfired on a single screen resolution without crashing? |

Yes. Crossfire works fine on a single monitor. I've gotten over Bioshock and Crysis run at almost a constant 200fps when using a single monitor with crossfire enabled. |

Update: I went to download the latest display drivers, and I already have them. So no help there. I even re-sized my desktop to the expand option instead of fill. Still no luck. Everything single game I have crashes during or right after the intro with all of the developers and publisher credits. |

2nd Update: Tried going back to a single monitor and Crossfire no longer works for any game. I can hear the 2nd card starting up when I enable crossfire, but every game crashes now with crossfire enabled. This is getting incredibly aggravating... |

Solved this problem sort of. Completely deleted all display drivers and related programs and then reinstalled. Crossfire now works, |
