Crossfire 7970

It might be time to get some proper help to diagnose what those BSOD messages are telling you. Go to this forum - http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/

Sign up, post in the BSOD section above and ask for help. Make sure you read the guide on how to ask for help and what info to include. See the sticky threads at the top of the forum.

Submit a few of your mini dump files and they will help you figure out what part of your hardware is causing the issue. They will ask you to run lots of tests and it will take a few days but you will find the problem eventually. Maybe then we can help you further. For now we're just going round in circles.

Unless you've flashed the bios afterburner normally reports incorrect voltage values when using HIS Ice-Q cards. You should use His iTurbo instead and use afterburner for overlay purposes only.

Right got the clocks set on iTurbo, when I open Afterburner will it mess with my settings on iTurbo?

As long as you don't click apply in afterburner, no. :p

EDIT

Don't use apply overclock settings at startup in afterburner either.
 
ok think ive found the problem... my cpu is working over time to work with crossfire 7970's and temperatures are sky high! never mind when i over clock them! So i think ill leave over clocking my GPU's until tomorrow when i get my noctua nh-d14 installed!!

Glad to hear you're making progress. Unfortunately helping you has aged me 20 years. :eek: :p
 
Matt.. that wasnt the problem but i think its ging to help my performance when i can oc my cpu.

Your probably going to say durrrrrrrrrrrrr....... because it was in your guide! "do not unlock AMD overdrive" lol.. well I did as well as using MSi and disabling ULPS in regedit.

I dont want to speak to soon but just purely using MSi and GPUz seems to be working no more sticking and no more blue screens.

Im running Valley on extreme at stock with 86fps average i think it was ill have to run again! both cards run at full whilst doing it and both cards shoot down to 300mhz again when not! Finally.!

seems Amd overdrive was causing conflicts with ULPS! will continue my overclocking campaign tonight and try get both cards to 1125/1575!
 
Bumped both to 1125/1575. Totally stable but not getting the 70fps I was before on hitman only 65 now! But no blue screens and no sticking ! Maybe the 70 was a lucky one when all the files were conflicted?
 
I had AMD Overdrive enabled until last night when I installed HIS iTurbo and looked around to disable to stop anything that might of interrupted.
AMD Overdrive had different settings enabled to everything else so disabled it immediately, would disabling it be enough?

Also considering uninstalling and re-installing CCC as I am getting strange driver crashes where if I leave the computer to go into sleep mode it will not come back on unless I hard restart. I know this is a driver issue as sometimes it will take some time to come back on when then it says "AMD driver recovered successfully".
Also considering disabling ULPS in Regedit as I will never use it and that may be causing me issues by using multiple programs.

It seems to of sorted my problems out! No 99% usage and no driver related crashes! I can't remember the link where I saw a post about overdrive causing problems with over clocking! Well seen as ulps is essential for crossfire I decided to try a complete format again! As soon as I formatted installed new drivers which was successful, then the cap, only used CCC for v sync nothing else! I'm now only using after burner for ulps and over clocking! Now running valley on extreme HD with 86fpa average and complete stability! This is with cards at 1125/1575.

So I suggest you do this if you want no further problems! It's early days for me but in pretty sure it was amd over drive conflicting with things like ulps and other program's, it didn't seem to like it!

By this time now if I was using over drive I would have crashed already so looks promising!
