Have you configured Crossfire correctly?

Did you swap the cards to see if each of them works by itself?

The Thermaltake manual also states:
"For SLI and Crossfire, you have to use one PCI-Express connector
which comes out from the power supply unit, and one Modularized
PCI-Express connector for the best performance and stability."

That said, it only lists Radeon X series cards.

The Diamond spec sheet states:
"450 Watt or greater power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI-Express power connector."

I cannot find a spec that states how many watts come out of the
6pin PCI-E connectors...

respond to psu prob

both cards run fantastic individually, i have not tried running with one molex adapter plug and one straight out of the power supply

if this is a possible fix i can try it, but i have been told that can damage parts as well. after advice i will try

let me know what i should try

EDIT:: i tried running them with 1 of the cards running off the molex adapter and 1 right of the PSU, no go, boots, goes to windows, and i can see it cross fired, but wen i try to adjust the fan, or boot a game/ benchmark i get a blue screen

once again both cards run fantastic by themselves and i ahve tried multiple PCI express slot configurations.

thanks all
