    Crossfire + Dual Monitor = no go?

    Upon further testing, I have narrowed the problem. The problem seems to be the monitor pairing. I have updated the bios of the older 4850, but that didn't change anything. One monitor is a 23" acer 1920x1080 16x9 aspect ratio. The other is 20.1" dell 2005fpw 1680x1050 16x10 aspect ratio. With...

    Recently, my laptop display started showing lines (dotted and ascii text) down the screen, inverted colors, and weird pixels. Also, when playing games such as world of warcraft, there would be flashing polygons all over (as if it was overclocked too high). It just happened all of a sudden, no...
