So yesterday i was playing Some h&g with friends when my pc turned to grey and repeated the last sound really fast like a buzzing sound. I had Some issues before that with the AMD driver crashing repeatedly and I had to restart my pc.

Afther the crash I tried to reboot my pc but had the same gray screen.
I figured that it had something to do with my graphics cards. I had
2 R7 270x setup in crossfire so i plugged the secondary out and started it again. It still didn't work so I switched my primary with my secondary and it kinda worked. I came in safe mode and I had a very low resolution screen with an black background. I restarted my pc again and it saw all normal to me. I plugged the second card in and setup the crossfire. But I didn't turn the crossfire on yet. My pc was fully functional until I turned on crossfire. It popped back to gray. I restarted it again and after about 2 minutes it completely froze. I could tell from the light from capslock.

I hope you guys have Some tips on getting my rig working again.
I know my motherboard doesnt fully support crosfire but i got it working.


My rig contains:
-CPU: AMD FX 4300 Quad-core 3.8GHz
-GPU: 2x MSI R9 270x in CrossfireX
-MOBO: MSI 970A-G43
-RAM: Crucial 8GB
-PSU: Coolermaster 750W
-HDD: Toshiba 1TB.

And Maybe, are there some motherboards that fit in this rig perfect without changing any other components that fully support crossfire?

Tnx for bothering my question

You need to use DDU (google Display Driver Uninstaller) and remove everything to do with ATI / AMD, pull both cards out and put the bad card in only, start from here, if you cannot get it to get signal and get into windows to install drivers, you have a problem ! Nothing to do with drivers would be stopping you getting signal and into windows at this point, if still this grey screen, we are looking at possible hardware failure

Here is a motherboard with full crossfire support, very nice one too, would allow you to overclock that 4300 and get a lot more speed out of it !

There is deffintely other motherboards that will take all your hardware and support full crossfire, that being said, its sounds to me like one of your cards have gone bad, you will 100% need to get that 2nd card working by itself before you try anything else

Thanks bishopi5.
So i need to detect the fault one and run my pc with the good one? And where is the error most likely in? Hardware or software because AMD mentioned a new driver update. And can you give me names of those Mobos?

I got one last question. I got my pc up and running even without safemode, I deleted al the drivers while in safe mode. I have my normal desktop in an normal resolution but my games are so laggy, even the sponsors that pop up first before the game actually runs are really laggy. I tried to install the new AMD drivers but it then pops back into grey and gives that buzzy noice again. My device manager don't seem to regonize any graphic cards.. What can I do?

First of all its very normal for it to be laggy as the cards don't have any drivers, if both cards are now throwing that grey screen when attempting to install drivers, you may have damaged your motherboard somehow, seems unlikely for both cards to fail unless your PSU is doing something real dodgy, can you test the cards in another system? this is your first step, and a major one, it will tell us if its the card or something in your system
