Last weekend I build my second computer and i'm having a problem.
I have two radeon HD 6850 graphic cards and crossfired them.
If i start the computer, it starts windows and after a couple of second the screen goes to the infamous blue screen.
The computer restarts and starts to use the motherboards graphics.
I already tested the cards individually, and the both work.
Has someone a clue what's wrong?

My parts:
Sapphire hd 6850
Asus eah 6850
Amd fx6200 @3.80 ghz
Corsair gs 800W
10gb RAM
motherboard: Asus m5a97

Check if the cards are in place correctly and check the crossfire bridge, if that's all OK. I would bet it's drivers... Blue screen means hardware failure... It could also be your PSU which can't handle the load, your RAM... You have long nights of troubleshooting ahead of you... :/  Hope I helped :)

Everything is placed correctly, and the drivers work with one card. Psu should handle it and the ram works perfectly.... I guess i'm going to have very long nights....
