I am running
4x2gb Kingston 800 ddr2
GA-EP45-D54P Mainboard
Thermaltake Toughpower 750W
2x ASUS EAH4850 W/Crossfire
I can access windows until i install the graphics drivers. Then i get BSOD.
Go to Safe mode, uninstall the drivers and i can get in to windows again.
Tried flashing mainboard bios to no avail.
Tried disconnecting Crossfire to no avail.
Tried taking one graphics card out to no avail.
Tried Installing the drivers without the CCC software to no avail.
The cards come with Glaciator fan sinks which work fine, keep the cards down to about 40C(102F)
Am starting to think that the Mainboard just isn't compatible with these cards, although it does say that it is crossfirex enabled.
I'm thinking it's not a Power supply problem as it has dedicated rails for the PCI-E connectors
On the BSOD it says Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed and in particular mentions ATIKMDAG.SYS
Visited ATI website and this is what they say
Symptoms:
After installing the Catalyst display drivers and rebooting, the system will give a blue screen (BSoD) error referencing ATIKMDAG.SYS
Cause:
This issue is caused by using a motherboard with a chipset that is unsupported in Windows Vista
Surely motherboards that are released now should be compatible with the graphics cards that are released now.
I'm really running out of things to try, anyone care to help??
