This is not a random problem.
Worked well in with my previous card (XFX 5870) so I can exclude the cable problem.
Monitors drivers are up to date (from Win7 update)
Like stated above fresh install - removed the 2nd Radeon 5850 - latest drivers & patches.
Here a movie link of what happend :

Gonna get back, later 2nite, my old 5870 which i sold to a friend and put it back to see what happend.
Well if it worked with the other GPU, then you can pretty much eliminate the other parts of the configuration. Time to start the RMA process with the 5850s; I would almost be willing to assume, based on your video,
that the second 5850 is causing the issue. Simple because the CF link is failing for some reason when attempting to be used. However this doesn't eliminate problems with the first 5850s CF port, you could do this by Cross Firing the original 5870 and the working 5850..
Additionally have you tried swapping the positions of the 5850s? This would confirm the problem is hardware based and has to deal with the CF port on the side of the GPU. If the Second GPU worked, I would then assume that it's either the bridge your using....or 1 or both cards have faulty Crossfire Ports.
