This is a new build. I'm trying to get my 2 Radeon HD 4870 X2's to work in CrossFire. Problem is When I have the two cards plugged into my motherboard I get nothing! No display at all just a blinking monitor :fou:. Each card works fine on their own in whatever slot I stick them in. Why am I getting nothing when they're both in? What can I do to fix this. The CrossFire cable is connected and all the power connections are made.
