I have this issue whenever I try to install two R9 280x's at the same time - I got three and they're all from different companies. Whichever constellation I install them in, once I insert the second card, it does the BSOD with the 3b error code (driver related).
Apart from this, the three different R9 280x's work, except the MSI card won't show in CCC, nor hardware monitor or open hardware monitor, except for the temperature and only in the latter. Still shows fine in the device manager. The Gigabyte has done this as well, but the ASUS works fine when solo . . .
So basically I need to figure out a way to run 2+ of these cards at the same time, without the terrible BSOD...
My system:
CPU: i3-4130 - no OC.
MB: Asrock Z87 Pro4 - flashed to newest bios 1.70.
RAM: 2x16GB Sniper at 1600Mhz (now running at 1333Mhz).
OS: Windows 7 x64 Professional. Fresh and fully updated.
APPZ: Avast Antivirus, CGMiner 3.7.2 and various monitoring tools.
FURTHERMORE: One 500Gb Western blue and one ASUS DVD reader/burner.
GPU's and DRIVERS: ATI 13.11 Beta 9.5 drivers and tried others.
Onboard HD 4400 which I use for the desktop.
MSI R9 280x Gaming - got the new vBios 015.039.XXXXXXXXXXXX
ASUS DirectCU II TOP R9 280x - 015.039.XXXXXXXXXXX
GIGABYTE R9 280x Windforce OC version - think it's 015.38.XXXXXXXXXX
PSU: Toughpower XT Gold 1475w
I get the crash before I get a chance to log into Windows.
I tested it with any two cards yes and with cards in both the x16 and the x4 slot.
I tried the following:
1. re-installing cards in various constellations and slots, with driver-sweeper removing drivers completely and then re-installing. I've confirmed that both my full sized PCIe slots work with cards individually.
2. Flashing bios to newest version.
3. memtest86 and MemtestHCI, then I disabled the page file and ran both tests again - one full pass.
4. I tried 13.11 Beta 8, Beta 9.2 and Beta 9.5, with the same results and using driver sweeper in between to fully remove the earlier version.
I was thinking about doing the following:
1. Upping vcore, even though I'm at the moment running everything at stock speeds (no overclock).
2. Flashing the video cards bios, but not sure if I can find never versions or if I can use e.g. an ASUS vBios in a Gigabyte card and the other way around.
3. Trying out other older drivers.
Hope anyone can help...
