SO I HAVE A RIG WITH A SAPPHIRE 7970 AND A XFX 7950 BUT I CANT GET IT TO FIRE UP USING THE BAT I GOT ANY SUGGESTIONS?
./cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool.chunky.ms.4200 -u bm.p1 -p 2 -I 13,18 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 50-100,50-100 --gpu-powertune 20,20 --gpu-engine 1023,850 --gpu-memclock 1620,1250 -w 256,256 --thread-concurrency 8704,21712 -g 2,2

You need to change the -g.

You can't run two different gpu thread values. You can have 2 separate cgminers running one for each card.

Also if you add "pause" (without quotes) at last line in the .bat file it will allow the CMD window not to close so you could read the error.

I also think so, g 1 should work

You might need to disable the second card.

Try running these settings
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
C:\path\to\cgminer.exe --scrypt -d 0 -g 2 -w 256 -I 13 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-engine 300-1070 --gpu-memclock 1500 --auto-fan

pause

CGMiner has known issues running -g 2 thread cards with -g 1 cards, aka 7970s with 7950s.

Try SGMiner with the same parameters, less the --scrypt option.

SGMiner link is in my sig.

What are the temps before the screen goes blank? The card could be overheating.
