Alright, So i installed 2 RX 460's Today and crossfired them, The first day everything was working just fine, Then i reinstalled windows and downloaded all the AMD Drivers again turned on crossfire, And now when ever i try to play any crossfire games (Overwatch) my PC crashes and it shows just a red screen.

(Only crashes when playing Crossfire supported games non crossfire games work fine)

Both cards work perfectly when alone

Also something to note: When running any Crossfire supported games my CPU goes to 99 to 100% Usage but does not pass 45C (When crossfire is on)

Everything works fine without crossfire on

No i do not have anything overclocked
AND No it is not an overheating problem

PC SPECS:
CPU: AMD FX-6300
GPU: 2x AMD Radeon RX 460's
RAM: 24GB DDR3 1333Mhz (G.skill ripjaws)
PSU: EVGA 750W
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0

Any help is MUCH Appreciated.

Motherboard drivers too. When you reinstalled windows, you wiped out the drivers folder where all drivers are stored. This includes the motherboard specific drivers. Different from bios. Right now any and all Sata, USB, pcie, lan etc drivers are windows generic, which are enough to get things working, but not enough to make them perform. Goto Asus website and download all the drivers there for the M5A97 R2.0. You'll have to look for which version is newer, last time I was there they actually had an all-in-one drivers set, but a few included were outdated, there were newer versions. I just did that not 10 minutes ago for my MSI mobo and there was 2 new driver releases, 1 for on board Lan, the other the Realtek HD audio, both for win10...

Check to make sure that you have all the current motherboard drivers installed, if you doubt, go to Asus website and get everything from the downloads section that possibly applies. It's entirely possible you wiped out most of the specific drivers and are now relying on windows generic drivers for things like USB, pcie, the crossfire setup, lan etc.

I have a Z77 mobo. Necessary driver update to comply with win 10 new Creator version.
