so, some times I play minecraft, with two screens. one for the game, one to watch youtube. sometimes my main screen goes all pink and I get moving pixelated artifacts on screen and I no longer can see my desktop. This has happened when I watch videos or sometimes just plain randomly. One time I was watching a video through Steam and my main screen goes all pink and crazy. So I paused the video and about 5 seconds later, the screen returned to normal. Whats Happening?

It may be a glitch with the drivers. As we all know, AMD CFX drivers tend to be subpar, so that may be causing the problem. Update your drivers, and if that doesn't work, make sure everything is properly connected. Also, download GPU-Z and check that a). each card is running at the same specs, and b). that they are running at the specs that they should be.

alright, I downloaded the GPU-Z program. (pretty neat by the way). and I have noticed two things that im not sure if they are normal or not. first, the bus width on my first card is 128 bit while the bus on my second card is 32 bit. the bandwidth on the first card is 79.7 Gbs per sec while the bandwidth on the second is only 19.9 Gb per sec. and finally, the driver version for the first reads: atiumdag 12.104.0.0 (Catalyst 13.4) / Win7 64. while the second reads: atiumdag 12.104.0.0/ Win7 64.

now thats strange. I deactivated crossfire and now the stats are the same across the board. And also, when crossfire is enabled, my second cards fan shuts down. when not in use. but wait, it turns out the mem clock on the second card is significantly lower than the first. first is at 1000 mhz while the sec is only at 150 with crossfire off. Im gonna take them out and try different ports.
