The system is rig #2 in my sig, I build it for a friend and when they installed and ran CS:S they're getting an error that says Graphical Node Error
I'm assuming this is an issue with Crossfire?

Thanks

got all the updates installed ? Only way to check if it's crossfire related is to take the second card out or test it in single mode.

Click to expand...

all updates are installed yes, and actually I think I may have been mistaken and this is more of an issue with HL2
either way he's going to shoot an email to valve and see what they say

This is just a stab in the dark, but it doesnt hurt to try...(generally what I always do when I get a CSS error, and 99 times out of 100 it fixes it).

Exit steam
Delete clientregistry.blob
Delete steam.dll
Restart steam and let it update
