Darkness 2 Help Needed

[liamthetank11]

Hello Tom's Hardware community, I am in need of desperate help.
Here are my specs-
Processor (AMD FX-8150 CPU (8x 3.60GHz/8MB L2 Cache)))
Motherboard (Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 -- AMD 970))
RAM- 16GB
Graphics Card- AMD Radeon 7770 Crossfire mode

Okay so here is my problem,
When I attempt to launch The Darkness 2, Saints Row 3, and Deus ex: Human Revolution, My entire computer crashes giving me a blue screen. I have researched this issue and people are saying it's a graphic card issue.

This is weird for me considering I can run Crysis 2 and Skyrim on full blast around 60 FPS with no problem. Can someone please help me?

Thanks

Did you try disabling CF and using either one of those HD 7770s?
Which drivers are you using?

drivers and most likely seeing how these are new cards you got there, there's bound to be some compatibility issues that AMD should fix eventually

How would I disable crossfire, i've tried a few times and I couldn't figure it out.

It should be in CCC. Although I've never owned a AMD/ATi card.
Right click on the AMD/ATi icon, highlight the first card, CrossFireX settings, disable crossfire.

I've tryed doing that before there is no possible way to turn off crossfire though CCC

you dissable crossfire via the ccc panel (In the bottom right, right click the ATI icon. Then highlight the first card > CrossfireX settings > disable crossfire.) if theres no option to disable crossfire it means your system doesnt have crossfire or its not being detected...
if this is the case then open the pc and check the leads... the crossfire bridge, the power connectors and make sure its firmly seated in the gfx slot...

go into bios load optimized defaults and set hpet mode to match your.o.s bit rate.
set up your raid if you have 1 and your drive order... save and quit..
run windows and se if you can force a crash and note down the 0x000000 number... and its error text... you can also use bluescreen view to read the dmp files that bsods create.

Okay it shows my card 5 times and crossfirex settings isnt there

 

[HEXiT]

5 times? it should show maybe 3 depending on how many monitors you have...
as you cant find the off button then you can just disconnect the power on 1 card while you run your tests, just pull the leads on the bottom most card. then try your game and see if theres any stability problems or improvements.

but dont forget the bsod error codes as they are what will point me to your solution much faster than you trying and posting the results...

the last time i had 65 monitors show up is when the install of the ccc went wrong. i ened up having to format my primary partition as ccc just would not detect my hardware correctly...
also forget the 12.3 drivers use the 12.2 beta/performance drivers. they seem more stable and have little extras that have been left out of 12.3 for stability reasons.
