Hey there,
So as you could guess from the title, my 6970's are just not having it with crossfire...
I had recently about a week ago purchased my new motherboard the Asus P8Z77-V LX and had also acquired a my second Powercolor AX6970 2GBD5-2DH

PC SPECS:
i5-2500k @ 3.3ghz (not changed)
8GB ram
2x Powercolor AX6970 2GBD5-2DH
Asus P8Z77-V LX Motherboard
Corsair CX750 Builder Series
3 Chassis fans
500gb harddrive
Redragon Perdition Gaming Mouse
CM Storm QuickFire XT

Anywho, back to the story. Right, so i had purchased my new things (For my birthday :3) Everything is working fine, dardy dar. So i go into the AMD control centre thingy and enable AMD crossfire. Everythings fine. Not experiencing any problems with daily general use of my PC, UNTIL i go into a game... the game i play is World Of Warcraft (Dont hate okay) With max setting, 1920x1080, 16x anti, 8x multisampling, Ultra settings.

I get onto the game, load it up fine and stuff, select my character, then the game runs... or does it?
No it <mod edit> doesn't -.- It will load up, then once its finished the loading the screen, BOOM.

"THIS IS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS NOW"

The second graphics card runs @ 100% Fan speed, and my pc will just crash, i can still hear my music and stuff like that, but the screen just goes any random solid colour, then just stays it, i cant do anything at all. It finally just spazzes out requiring me to restart my pc. I have to turn it off and on once or twice to actually get win 7 to recognize my crossfire.

I have tried benchmarking, but i generally cant do high end pc benchmark as ittl just do the same as what happens with World of Warcraft.

Please help?
