I disabled Crossfire and tried it on a single card and had it crash on me after about 15 minutes or so.

I guess I need to do some more temperature testing to see how hot the cards or CPU are getting. Probably a good idea to make sure my BIOS is up to date as well. If it's not temperature related I think it might be the ATI drivers... in which case I get to play around with testing previous versions. Fun.
i used to get the same thing. i posted a few pages back on how i fixed it. it has something to do with onboard sound card and the game. you got a new mobo right? are you using the onboard sound card on that? if you are than im 99% sure that's the problem. i fixed mine by buying a new one and turning the onboard audio off completely. never crash anymore. but when i took the new sound card out and used the onboard it kept crashing and freezing.
