I was excited to pick up a new workstation for some rendering and occasional BOINCing/F@H and gaming, but ran into a serious issue.
System Layout:
1 x E5-2667 v1
2 x 8gb ram
1125w PSU
2 x AMD R9-280X installed in slots 2 and 6, power adapter cables installed
BIOS: 3.91
Windows 10 LTSB 64bit
System will boot fine, no Crossfire bridge installed, Crossfire turned off on ATI settings, both cards recognized by the sytem. Thing is, as soon as I try to do anything with the GPUs, the system will blackscreen and reboot. Everything is fine with one card installed in Slot 2, but that kinda defeats the purpose of buying this machine. This is also replicable in Windows 7 Pro, so I dont think its a driver issue. My worry isnt a compatibility issue, but maybe a motherboard that's shot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
