    Try running them at the ATI reference speeds rather than any overclock (850/1200), also what power supply do you have?

    galexy 1000w
    Done that still freezing problems.
    Will try other games to see wheather it does it in them.
    At the mo i feel was going crossfire worth it. The answer is no
    Both cards work good on there own.

    I might be wrong but I thought you needed an extra driver for Crossfire now?

    Crossfire Application Profiles?

    Re: problems with 5870 set up

    What drivers ? 10.3a ? If so try going to the 10.3 whql version.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.
