    Ok thanks, But also on a side note, my primary card can sometimes reach 70 deg C, is that too high or should I not be worried?

    Skyrim CTD after approx 1 min

    I have updated my video drivers but when I try to update sound, it just says that everything is up to date, even though on driver agent it says that it is out of date.

    Skyrim CTD after approx 1 min

    I have verified the game files as well as a re install so i doubt thats the issue, but when you say "just take out one card" do you mean physically remove it? Or can I just disable crossfire in the AMD engine control center?

I have an AMD FX 8120 processor which is apparently known to have this issue. When I try to update my BIOS from the gigabyte website for the GA-970a-UD3 motherboard I...

    AMD FX Steam Issue

    What exactly do you mean? When i download the @BIOS utility, i get an executable which extracts a folder, and in said folder is some files and an application called setup.

    AMD FX Steam Issue

    I downloaded, extracted, and installed it using the @BIOS utility, and when i launch the game it loaded the splash screen for a little while and then just rebooted my computer, no BSOD. When it finished rebooting i checked using CPUz and found that it still says that I have the F4 version BIOS.
