MSI 270X Crossfire Problems

Hey everyone, yesterday I received my 2 new MSI Gaming R9 270X's, after installing them & crossfiring them I proceeded to test some games; however I have encountered many problems. First and most worrying of them all is that alot of the games I ran (which included bioshock1/2/Infinite, Borderlands 2, CS:GO & Arma 2: OA) all had really extreme problems. Bioshock 1/2 crashed before getting to the main menu (which I've never experienced before), Borderlands 2/CS:GO both had extreme screen anomalies/stuttering which I could only solve by disabling crossfire, and finally Arma 2: OA loaded fine & I thought everything was going to work; however when I tried to load a mission my entire computer crashed & I had to restart my system.

I am currently going through the rest of my steam games to see what others are not working (Bioshock infinite was the only one that worked), I have googled for a solution, but all the things I try don't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, if these problems proceed over the next few days I'm going to return the 2 cards & get a full-refund so I can buy a single GPU instead.

Thanks, Callan.
 
Solution
Download MSI afterburner and try increasing the core voltage a tad from the stock. I hope your each card's stock voltage would be around 1.206V. If that's the case, give an uplift and put it around 1.23 V

I have a 750W corsair modular PSU, I actually have installed the latest AMD beta drivers which has fixed the issues for a couple of games; but a few are still not working.
