I had the same issues with my Powercolor 4850s running in Crossfire on my Asus P5E (Intel X38). I tried the cards on two other motherboards (X48-based P5E-Deluxe and an X58-based Gigabyte X58-UD5) and the BSODs continued. My solution was to get rid of the cards and get a GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 instead. Since that change I've been BSOD free.

No worries here. My Intel X48 chipset and Radeon HD3870X2 continue to play happily together.

I'm using only one 4850 with Catalyst 8.11.
When loading Dead Space I can't see and do anything. Ctrl + Alt + Del also doesn't help. :-( |

I posted about this exact issue in the TR forums about a week or so ago:
http://techreport.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=63026 I managed to find a work around that has worked for me. I am running 4850s in crossfire on an Asus X48 board with Vista 64 (In addition to a Q9450 and 4 GBs of ram). I posted in the above TR forum thread what finally got things going for me. I got this method from the AMD forum (referenced in the TR article): |

Another ringing endorsement for forced monthly Catalyst releases.

There's a relatively easy fix
1. Uninstall all ati drivers 2. Delete \program files\ati + Ati technologies directories 3. Reboot 4. Download the driver only package here: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=vista64/common-vi... (option 2) 5. Install driver and reboot, you will likely get a black screen or bsod again when windows loads up, this is ok just... 6. let the machine reboot or reboot it 7. This time it should let you back into windows, go back to the above link, and in option 2 pick up your ccc (32 bit - it is the same as the 64 bit version) 8. Install and presto, it should work fine. |

I had the issue too. Once I backed off my CPU OC a lil bit, the issue went away. I just attributed it to an unstable OC. Maybe others have the same issue??? This is on a Asus P5Q Deluxe BTW

me thinks its wise that I don't update my drivers for the sake of just updating. Still on 8.10 tho I wouldn't have this issue since I dont have crossfire.

That is why it is called the bleeding edge.
I suspect the problem to be some multi-card optimization that WDDM does not like at all. I expect a hot-fix to resolve the issue. |

Well, it seems that it is not only dual setups are affected, I have a single HD4850 and Vista x64 and I get freezes just before the login screen. The most weird part is that I can actually get into Windows after couple of boots, as if something in my PC needs to heat up... One more thing noticed, sometimes Aero would be disabled, upon a successful log in.
I have read one of the threads mentioned here, could it be that my mobo might be dying??? It is a P965 Platinum from MSI, almost 2 years old, guess my overclocked E6300@2.8 GHz "killed" it?! Really can't wait for X58 boards and Core i7's to be cheaper... |

Two 3850 x2 here on a Intel 48 chip. I didn't get the blue screen here but I did have updated chipset drivers before installing 8.11 I just did it the old way of uninstalling and then booting in safe mode and using driver sweep and the booting back up and installing them from there. That's how I do it every time.

Got me as well on a 4 series, vista64 and 2x 4850s. EVERY driver upgrade on this machine has been some manner of headache - sometimes I had to install the driver and control center separately to make it happy; once I had to mysteriously reboot an extra time to get anything to work, boy was I annoyed when it took me 3 tries and over an hour to figure THAT one out.
8.11 really takes the cake, though. I tried both the fixes mentioned in the post with no luck, bluescreens abound. I hoped AMD's monthly driver updates would mean a quicker response to problems, but all it's meant so far is more frequent chances for them to disappoint and frustrate. |

Huh...
I have a Media Center PC that has been having fits lately. It's got a P35 chipset and an ATI Radeon HD 3650, and a 32-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium. I'm thinking it might have the Catalyst 8.11's... Man. AMD/ATI driver quality has been pretty good as of late, but nobody's perfect. I'll have to see how good and fast their response to this situation is before I pass judgement... EDIT: Never mind. Bad memory happened, and I fixed it. Yaaay, HD! |

I have the problem. Glad to hear that I am not alone. I have 2x 4850, 3 series chipset, and I am using Windows Vista x64. I had to revert back to 8.10. ATI/AMD really messed the 8.11 up. Hope they get their act together soon.
