Ok, so long story short, I was able to get a great deal on some 4870x2s and proceeded to plug them in/ run them. However, on starting up the OS, Win 7 didn't do its usual - "oh look, there's a new device to install" and well everything got pretty messed up.
So I:
*ran driver sweeper and got rid of all previous drivers
*ran the catalyst 9.11 install package (coming from 9.10)
*tried to run crysis to make sure everything worked (RivaTuner and its sidebar gadget were working)
Here's where I ran into trouble:
Before even loading Crysis, the system locked up; everything else was working fine but somehow, loading any game, be it crysis, half-life, css all resulted in the same lockup.
Now I can't get back to 9.10s and occasionally get the code 43/code 19 errors in device manager.
My system is:
Asus P6T6
W3520 (4.2 ghz, 1.2 v)
6 GB Kingston RAM
2x4870x2
HX1000W CPU
2x1TB Black hdds
2x2TB Green hdds
and this is all water cooled and temps are fine when monitored.
So my question is:
What's causing this? Is it my PSU not having enough power? I haven't gotten any blue screens or anything - just a complete lockup of the computer that requires a hard reset.
Thanks!
