Hi,
So I'm running a rig with a sahpphire 2g ddr3 HD6570 (low end but its for analysis, not gaming) and I recently picked up another HD6570 (HISiceq), however when i go to boot up, I either enter my password and the screen goes black or it'll freeze at the loading widows screen.
I really can't see the problem the mobo is set up for dual video cards + crossfire, the cards have identical drivers and chipsets (and are also crossfire ready, although they lack a bridge connector), and my PSU should be big enough.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated - I've been pulling my hair out for hours. Maybe I'm just missing something obvious but this is really bothering me - having a second set of outputs shouldn't be that difficult..
My system is:
CPU: AMD FX8320
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3
PSU: 700w Raidmax RX-700AC
I've tried:
Just adding the other card: Makes screen output dissapear after login
Both cards (individually) in both PCIe slots : works
Uninstalling the drivers, installing the cards, reinstalling the drivers: Causes window to freeze at load
Looking at BIOs options: the mobo has useless bios options so far as I can tell.
Disabling the driver of one card, installing the other card and booting: Works but as soon as I enable the other card it needs to restart, and cant load windows.
