Title: New 7970 water cooled rig problem (Video)

Anyone have any idea of what can be the issue? It sometimes randomly freezes, freezes when loading games.

It has not crashed in furmark, prime95, and has passed memtest. All components are using stock clocks.

Thank you!

*EDIT* I just updated my OCZ vertex 3 Max IOPS firmware from 2.15 to 2.22, still same problem.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the AMD Catalyst drivers.

That has fixed problems I have had in the past.

what stops power supply from freezing your system

although if you can get something going, like furmark or w/e, it should be fine.  games are diff i'd assume, since sometimes the card would be strained and other times it wouldnt

I just took off the xfire cables and my computer works perfect, so basically, my computer works without xfire enabled.

Therefore it may be a software issue relating to crossfire.

Have you already tried my advice?
