X1900XT + X1900 Crossfire Problem

[LastOutlaw]

Well lets put it plain and simple, Every game i try works great with the 2... but Battlefield 2 on the other hand goes to a black screen then crashes. I'm trying to find out why. I asked EA and they told me it was a problem with my NIC and I said they were retards. I have the latest Cats Latest BIOS on the motherboard and i've run out of ideas. My System specs are as following

Asus A8R32-MVP Deleuxe
AMD 64 X2 3800+
2GB OCZ Dual Channel Plat
X1900 Crossfire Edition + X1900XT
FSP FX600-GLN
2X Maxtor 200GB SATA 16mb cache

I think it might have something to do with the BIOS but i don't know. I need some help here.

Same mobo, same cards, works fine for me. Latest mobo bios, and Cats. Dunno what else to say.

then wtf, stupid battlefield 2

what patch are you on with the bf2, bf2 is horrendous for support

1) Does it work with a single card?
2) That motherboard does have 2 NICs. Try disabling the one you are using and use the other one. I used to use the Marvel Yukon NIC on my A8N-SLI Premium, and the system would sometimes crash in WoW. I switched to the NVIDIA NIC and disabled the Marvel Yukon... Problem solved. I know it sounds weird, but it worked...

i have 2 marvell NIC, and it works ok if i use a single card oh and i have the very latest patch

i updated the marvell drivers and tried BF2, i herd the EA games movie and then CTD but it was a black screen. I'll try my Dlink 530TX

I recall having the black screen problem with an older version of the game, and a GTX. I could hit the ESC key, and it went right past it. Try that maybe? As much as I like BF2, its always been very buggy.

ok well i put the Dlink 530TX in and it does the same thing.... BF2 just sucks in general
