Hey guys!

I have 2 4850s, but i made one mistake, when i got them. I got the original asus EAH4850 and then i got the asus EAH4850 TOP card, just slightly oc'd

and I can play TF2 just fine, and few other games, when I play hl2 episode 1 it will reboot my pc at a certain point, HL2 Ep2 will reboot right away COD4 will reboot every 30-45 minutes but i can play TF2 for hours

I have Vista 64 ultimate

asrock p45r2000 wifi
gskill 1066 ram 4 gigs
intel q6600 quad core
and the 2 ati cards, im using both bridges i used one but i get mixed answers on that question whether to use 2 or 1

Everything in my computer is at stock settings

What power supply are you using? Have you checked the temperatures of your CPU, GPU, etc? Is your RAM setup (timings, voltage, etc?)

Use both CrossFire bridges.

I am using a Visiontek HD4850 and a MSI HD4850 OC Edition but I only use one bridge. When I use 2, I get MAJOR graphical anomalies. I would check your RAM timings and volts, as erocker recommended.

Ok well i found out that, it only crashes, after i beat a mission it plays a sequence while loading, if i dont skip that movie, after it loads it will reboot.

I will take that other bridge off i just put back on,

but where do i find the timings and volt, cause this company tells you to get a few different brands of ram mine being one of them
