    32-bit or 64-bit?
    Also, do you have up to date chipset drivers for your motherboard? Check the intel site.

    Yes, go to the Intel website and get the latest P45 chipset driver. That's one of the things that helped me solve a bug with crossfire - though it wasn't the same bug as this.

    Perhaps a faulty motherboard then. Crossfire is vulnerable to every single part of the system, unfortunately. All drivers and pretty much all hardware can cause issues with it. Just a case of checking all the hardware for it. Try a new motherboard or power supply (whichever's easier for you to test). If the graphics cards work on their own, they're not likely to be at fault.

    I will warn you, you'll have to do most of the testing, as PC repair technicians have basically no grasp of dual graphics.
