Hd 5970 and multiple displays = bluescreen

It could be the card was faulty all along. With the 5970 in, check each DVI ports. Boot up with F8 and try Safe Mode. If you can get into safe mode, boot up again with F8 and use Low Resolution Mode 640x480 to try and enter Windows. (You don't get any beeps unless your motherboard has an onboard speaker or you have fitted one). Also, can you still Enter the BIOS with the 5970. The 5970 would still be under the manufacturers warranty and you havn't done anything wrong.

I cant enter bios or anything. Its like the graphic card doesnt send out a signal to the monitor at all. Tried both dvi ports and the minidisplay port. Still nothing.

Sent them an email now. About the card. Should just send it back and get a new one i hope. Since i believe 100% i didnt do anything to harm the card. Not used the overclocking that followed with xfx or the one in CCC.

This card must have been faulty since i got it

HD 5970 issue's

I have had the issue where the pc doesn't display anything with the HD 5970 in the pci slot. But i got it fixed real easy. Two things could be wrong.
1> The drivers you installed after inserting the card could have been installed incorrectly, so what you need to do is remove the card and put in a other card or us onboard, next step would be remove all traces of software for the graphics card and reboot. The use something like CCleaner to clear the registry of the pc. Now reinstall the drivers without the graphics card in, then shut down after installation. Then reinsert the card and it will work, and the drivers will do the rest.
2> Now here is a nasty one, you OC'ed your card, with more than one OC program, you will have to get rid of all the programs including the CCC program and do the same as in (1), or you just forgot to plug in the power cables.

I dont think it's ram, I have the same problem running crossfire

I previously had an Nvidia 450 gts - never once got a blue screen

I installed 2 ATI 5700 cards and started getting my blue screen.
I wiped out windows 7 and did a clean install because i thought it coulda been the previous card drivers causing issues.

Still getting a blue screen in it seams like all of my games

I have patriot RAM - not the greatest but i wasnt previously getting blue screens.
Its gotta be CCC

Drivers have been uninstalled/reinstalled various times

I installed on a fresh copy of windows

and i have not overclocked ANYTHING on my system - i am getting the same problem as the poster.

So, a cleanup wouldnt make a difference when the drive was wiped for windows install.
Hitting next next next - i dont see where we could go wrong there.
