if it work on a single card and they are both good,check if your power supply could give enough power to the system and both card at the time and did you install the driver for crossfire

 

[wallyg123]

yes all driver are updated, and both cards work

 

[scout_03]

they all receive power and did you install the crossfire bridge

 

[wallyg123]

yes i did, it must be the powersupply not giving enough power, i cant find any other threads of anybody with the same problem

are you using on board sound ? if so go into the device manager and uninstall the amd high def sound ( hdmi ) and reboot. don't let windows reinstall it.

( audio device on high def audio bus )

i use the realtek hd audio manager, how could that be the crash? the game gets to character selection and you can hear it for a second then sound stops completely, but when i minimize the game sound works fine
