weird BSODs when Crossfire enabled

Downloaded the 11.10 abd cap 3 installed and all seemed well, then ccc crashed and upon reboot i would get amd driver crashed and recoverd error. And now ccc will not open at all. Uninstall and reinstall yeilds same result. When installing the drivers i get instaltion complete with warnings. Tried aReset on the bios and checked every thing still a no go. Not sure if i have a corrupt windows install or bad gpu mobo. Going to take one gpu out see what that does. I can turn crossfire off and it all seems to work just fine. or if CCC is not installed it wont BSOD since crossfire is disabled. Any other advice would be appreciated

Try using a driver sweeper to remove old drivers then reinstall and see if that helps.

Done that about 20 times. I keep getting driver installed with warning

Well looks to be a memory slot. once a stick goes into the second slot toward the edge of the board i get all sorts of lock ups and driver failures. any advice! dont want to have to RMA since i have had to once already =(

Use slots 2&4 (so second slot from CPU and last slot). Relax some of the DRAM timings if you are running DDR3-1866 (as shown in the easy setup guide), as that is an "overclocked" divider (stock CPU~NB voltage supports DDR3-1333 only).

Those slots are coverd by cpu cooler. Have reset bios to optomized defaults.

I cant imagine its somthing that just went bad i have had memory issues since first boot always seems to hang at DRAM light before it boots. I will try to do the memory setup in bios like before and see if it fixes it. but it dont think it will since once a stick is in that slot i hit all sorts of snags. guess 3rd RMA is the charm

Relax the timings, I think it will help. Also, might be worth saving UEFI screenies (covert to JPEG) and uploading the DRAM timing pages as well as stating what CPU/NB voltage you are using...

Im doing this wile im away from computer. Cant find my flash drive to get screens either. I have every thing set to auto. my timings are set to 9-10-9-28 default for the ram. This happens even with the r-r at 5 and 2t
