100% random, or when you're doing GPU intensive things?

Try each card one at a time, stressing them the hell out - monitor temps, of course - to rule out it being a single card issue.

Hi.


Have you tried to remove your Video Drivers, clean, and then re-install them? (newest version if you already haven't).

Are you overclocked? If so, are you stable?

it just happened to me right after i put my PW in to log into windows just randomly happens
i tried ruling out each card and they both are fine separately but when in xfire they go crazy with the colors

i am using the most up to date version of CCC so i assume its not the drivers.

+1

Use driver sweeper to remover your current drivers, then download the latest ones and install those.

You haven't overclocked your graphics card at all, have you? Make sure you monitor the temperatures to see if it's getting ridiculously hot.

yea went to safe mode, took out the drivers, put new ones in and no im not OC'd, im 100% stock settings except for the fan speeds on the 5770s

card 1 reads 37c
card 2 reads 34c

both at 65% fan speeds

Clean the drivers anyway to be sure. Remove any overclocks, of course. Are you monitoring temps when this happens? CF/SLI can make some crazy temps if airflow is poor - one card venting hot air into the other card's intake, that sorta stuff.

yea quick posting makes it hard to keep up to who's saying what lol but anyways i did do driver sweeper and all in safe mode. and i do have it in CF but there is alot of space between each card and i do have good airflow. it happened once after that cleanup and now it seems to be ok. both cards are around 35c so idk what it could be

guess i spoke too soon

the x8 config lasted alot longer this time about 2 hours and i even played mw2 with no problems at all but once i left the game and went back to the desktop to finish my download a few minutes later my screen started to slowly "pixelate" until i couldnt even see anything on my screen except for millions of little red/white dots then it just restarts on its own.

these are the errors i get:
(made them different colors for easy reading)
