Two. If having two bridges installed and there are problems one of the bridges are bad. Try running a benchmark to see if it's working.

So what does it mean that my game crashes if I have bios set to auto auto enable ? for I have to have it set to auto auto disable and then no crashes ....Does this mean one of my bridges are frigged ?

Leave both bridges on, they aren't your problem.
Try this:
GFX Dual Slot Configuration-> Enable
GFX2 Dual Slot Configuration-> Disabled
Peer-to-Peer among GFX/GFX2-> Disabled

So the final conclusion to it is that no matter what anyone does with these 4850's in crossfire, you gotta take out one of them just to be able to play etqw ?? :O

Thats quite a tedious task as in wire management, opening the case etc.. plus if I had to do something like that, I'd have to buy thermal adhesive so the cards' heatsinks won't keep falling off (Accelero s1 rev2) but then again this is only me talking.

Poor conclusion imho but I'm glad you solved your problem, even though it wasn't the best solution haha ^^;; .

I have a couple games that act like that. Wow for instance doesnt need Crossfire at all so I tend to disable crossfire for it.

In CCC advanced mode, theres a crossfire enable/disable option on the bottom left.

should be able to setup a profile to do that so you dont have to manually shut it down, but i guess manually shutting it off is better than automatic, unless if extensive testing is done

I've been crashing in some games cause of high clocks, such a shame... stupid drivers!! Always have to turn it down, though it doesn't change much anyway. 2 4850's with stock clocks still own.
Never came to the case where I had to disable them, though me refusing to disable them is probably why :)
