I have an Asus M4A785TV-V Evo motherboard. It has an integrated Hd 4200, but that is not used. It also has two PCIex16 slots, one of which has my HD5770 in.
If I get a second HD 5770 and put it in the other PCIe x16 slot, will I be able to run Crossfire?
The motherboard manual says that it supports Hybrid Crossfire between dedicated and integrated cards, but nothing about Crossfire between two dedicated cards.
If it doesn't support crossfire, can I still put a second graphics card in and use it in the same way?
i am having no luck finding information so as to install a new 3T hard drive. this is a nightmare. one of the first bits of info i need is whether my motherboard supports or uses UEFI or EFI..since there do not seem to be any manuals available (i've checked.)
just partition my hard drive and installed windows 7 32bit. Can't seem to get the Audio working. I got some cheap brand mother board called PC Partner. Board model: RD580AK9-A79D
I tried the old Xp drivers, wont work, contacted the manufacturer, waiting for a reply, is there anything else i can do?
Yesterday I had a PC technician around to see why my PC was not booting-up properly and also to change my SSD to a larger SSD. As I am visually challenged I cannot do hardware upgrades etc, so I got a Techie guy in. We used Zinstall HDD by-the-way and I would highly recommend this application for such a job plus, it is extremely fast.Anyway, while he was diagnosing my boot-up issue he discovered I had a malfunctioning network card; while removing this, he noticed all the SATA settings were set to SATA 2.When he reset these to SATA 3, the PC would not start-up! When he set them again to SATA 2 there was no problem and it worked fine?
Generaly i know PCIe3 is supposed to be an all around bug fix to pcie 2 however, i already have a 6970 and dk how to afford a 7970 at this time, would 2 6970s (i already have 1, add another) costing me around 250-350, ultimately running post cross fire at 4 gb going to be more ore less powerful than a 7970.
I just recently bought another card to xfire for my rig. Since ive done this however my games randomly freeze or bsod, or freeze with a loud buzz until i shut my rig down.. i think its a driver issue, because it used to do it when i had 1 card and i bumped it down to like 11.10 and everything worked fine.. but when i got the new card, apparently 11.10 didnt support xfire.. so i had to update to 11.12.
I Installed CrossFire Having played it before i upgraded, and it gave me a blue screen. I though " oh i did something wrong " So i unistalled and reinstalled, you know, the stuff you usually do.
Anyway, i've been reading around the forum and i've found other people are having this problem too, " Getting the bluescreen " Now i was wondering if their any fixes that could make the game work, Any help would be useful and much appreciated!
I've been having longer then normal windows load time after getting my second 6950 in my comp. I noticed that it starts up then goes into black screen with cursor then takes another 5 seconds to completely load into windows. Im thinking its something to do with adding another video card as i haven't experienced this before adding it.
My Windows is installed on my Intel 320 80 GB SSD. Game performance stays the same. just the load up time for windows has slowed down a lot and there's always a black screen with the cursor before it fully loads in now. I have the latest CAT
I use Apple Mac Pro 3,1 (2008) with the following specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit 2x Intel Xeon E5472 3.0 GHz 32 GB DDR2 FB-DIMM Micron/Hynix 2xATI Radeon HD5770 1 GB DDR5 XFX + Apple genuine Realtek High Definition Audio Apple Cinema HD Display 23"

I would like to enable Crossfire in Catalyst Control Panel, but it do not work on drivers newer than Catalyst 10.11.I got BSOD on atimkdag.sys. How to fix it ?Tried Driver Sweeper but no luck, even installing fresh system didn't worked.
Ordered a new XFX HD5850 Black edition which is being delivered tomorrow , for the nice sum of 111.Will be running it in crossfire with my current 5850.Do I just plug it in and enable crossfire in the catalyst control center or will I need to install drivers for this card first?
I just built a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate (RTM x64) and have the system running great with one ATI 5970 video card. Upon adding a second card (in the correct x16 slot per my MB manual), rebooting shows the "starting windows" screen, proceeds past this to a black screen with a movable mouse cursor (occasionally I get an hour glass for a moment and then back to cursor).
Here's what I've tried to troubleshoot:
- Combed through the Seven Forums and couldn't find a similar issue
- Ensured BIOS was latest and chipset drivers were installed (MB = MSI x58 Eclipse SLI)
- Tried with and without the Crossfire interconnect
- Tried the new ATI hotfix drivers
- Tried Win 7 Startup Repair - no luck
- Let the machine sit overnight to see if it would eventually come up to Windows - no luck
- Tried safe mode and the machine displayed same behavior
- Removed original card to make sure card was seated in the slot correctly and power was properly connected (I have a 1KW power supply). Removing the original card, the machine booted fine on card #2.
- Removed all other cards (only other was an XiFi card) - and with two cards in, same behavior
- With one card in, uninstalled the ATI drivers, rebooted into Safe Mode and ran Guru 3D Driver Sweeper (in Admin mode) and removed any other residual driver stuff. Rebooted to ensure it was all gone (it was), and inserted card #2, same behavior
I can get it to boot to DOS boot and it passes BIOS fine - so I think it's a Windows issue or a hardware resources issue - just can't tell what it is hanging on...
Hey people, I am having some trouble with MSI Afterburner and its fan speed control function. I have a custom curve setup and I have it where it synchronizes both GPUs in settings and it works great when I first boot and play a game for a while but then when I let it sit and go on the internet for 10 mins or so or put comp to sleep then come back, the custom curve only applies to the main GPU, and nothing that you do in Afterburner will change the second fan speed. I tried restarting the program, putting it on manual control, changing the curve and re applying it, but nothing seems to work on the second GPU fan speed until I reboot the whole computer again.
My specs if needed: Crossfire XFX HD 6970s Intel Core i7 3770 ASUS P8Z77-V Mobo 16GB Ripjaws 1600MHz 1100W ABS Majesty PSU Windows 7 64-bit
P.S. I have already tried disabling that ULPS thing in registries, which did not work.

My processor is a A8 3870K that has integrated radeon 6550D graphics.The box of the processor mentions it can crossfire with any of the following direct x 11 capable graphics cards HD 6670, HD 6570, and HD 6450
i just finished my build and i have no idea why i went for a motherboard with 2 slots for ram it can hold up to 16gb but luckly ebuyer sent me out an extra 4gb of kingston hyperx ram so i have 8gb all together but theres a problem theres 4 sticks ! obviously i wouldnt want to send it back so what do ya think either upgrade my motherboard and smash the extra 4 gb in there or keep to my original one i dont have money to blow atall im really struggling if its something that will really make a difference ill go with it if not then ill just keep to my original and when i come to buy a graphics card i will get a 2gb graphics card to help with gaming?
I use Help and support frequently. Finding the answer to a problem is one thing, finding it a second time is another. When you're dealing with web pages it's easy to find what you've found a second time. You just copy the URL and paste it somewhere so it can be clicked on in the future, but not so with Help and support.
The only way I know of to find a particular page again is to write down my steps (like in a word processor) and then retrace them. Just wondering if I'm missing something or if there is an easier way?
Tonight I will be configuring a newly-purchased Sony VPCCW290X with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.Almost by accident, I have read/discovered that Windows 7 allegedly either doesn't work with WEP, or doesn't work well with WEP.Our home router is a Netgear WGR614 v9 (802.11g).The reason that we "have" to use WEP is that there is an old Mac laptop on the home network, running OS 9.2 (yes, this is OLD!) that does not support WPA. That is, OS 9.2 does not support WPA, and there is no hardware or patch available making it support WPA.So I've read dozens of threads in these forums about Windows 7 and WEP or WPA, and they just seem to be arguments over whether Windows 7 does or does not support WEP. All I want is a definitive set of instructions of how to get THAT computer to connect to our home network, using WEP.url...is a link to the specific computer, if that matters.I'd imagine that Windows 7 is "backwards compatible" enough to support WEP; I just want to get this new computer onto our home network.
I own a HP HDX-18 Notebook (it has 4GB RAM), and I installed Windows 7 (64 bit) not too long ago. The laptop was being problematic giving me a blue screen of death with a 'Power_Driver_State_Failure' message, so I figured it could be problems with driver compatibility. I formatted the hard drive again, and installed a 32bit version of windows 7.
When I right click and go to 'My Computer', it only acknowledges that 3gb out the 4gb ram is being used. Why is this? Is Windows 7 incapable of supporting up to 4gb ram? Do you guys think I'm better restoring the laptop to factory settings (Vista Home Premium) with the recovery CD?
I have an asus p5ld2 motherboard with the realtek audio chipset, gameport, etc. I play several games that utilize a controller plugged into the gameport connector ( 1 of them is an old racing controller from a realrace 2 rc car racing sym) and I am inquiring/wondering if microsoft is or will support such a port or controller arraingement.
I see no controller listed as anything in the device listing, nor an unknown port, etc.
[The following are not the problems i faced on Windows XP]. I've connected my PC via HDMI 1.3!
I installed Windows 7 x64 in my PC. The real big problems i'm facing is with Nvidia.
1. First thing scaling didn't work i tried to fix it but no hopes. Good my monitor had built in scaling.
2. 59hz monitor refresh rate is another pain. My display works perfect in 60.001hz @ 1920x1200 resolution but it still resets to 59hz. Nvidia in there latest driver has informed that its the problem with Windows 7 OS. And microsoft says there is no theartical difference from 59hz and 60hz. Well there is huge difference especially when your play movies via DXVA in Media player classic home cinema where you your full colour range and shaders which causes some kind of boxing and not artifacts! Everything was proper in Windows Xp
3. Finally i don't about other but i've noticed massive difference in colour depth which is set to 32-bit but its showing only 24-bit colours which can easily be noticed in movies and games like Crysis. HDMI 1.2 supports upto 24-bit colour. But PC or PS3 has HDMI 1.3 which support 32-bit same as DVI connection. My monitor has upto 48-bit colour depth so the difference in colours while in 24-bit can be easily noticed.
Seriosuly is this a design flaw or enabling these would cause different problems. If any one has got a solution for this i would be happy to hear!
Is anyone else having problems with WMP12 acting weird when playing .MOV files?
Just try one of these here: NASA - NASA High Definition Video
When skipping ahead in the video WMP encounters an error for me.
Also why is there no association of .MOV with WMP on the web? I don't want to have to download QuickTime to watch apple trailers when WMP supposed plays .MOV files (albeit not very good it seems)
i read that windows 7 has native support for mkv files. yet when i try to open an mkv file in media center it doesnt work. am i missing something? im running Windows 7 pro
I downloaded the WMPTagSupportExtender.1.4.msi file and it installs fine, but when I use WMP, it doesn't seem to do anything. I hear that using this allows WMP to play .flac files along with the Win7Codecs, but nothing's happening. Am I supposed to enable something? If so, how do I do it?
Back in the XP days...the Home version didn't let you use Remote Desktop Connection to log into your work/home computer. Windows 7 site isn't exactly clear when comparing all versions of 7....can you use RDC on ANY version of 7, including the basic Home Premium version? Their comparison between all 3 doesn't mention RDC.
I wanted to install Vista to do a couple of tests. I don't have any spare machines, so I thought I'd install in a virtual machine under Windows 7. Windows Boot Manager gave me his message:
"Attempting to load 64 bit application, however this cpu is not compatible with 64bit mode."
Of course my computer is ok with 64bit (my primary OS is Win 7 64 bit).
Is Microsoft VPC not compatible with 64 bit guest systems?
