Hello all,

I have this problem with my graphic card. The graphic card on the upper slot seems to be very heavy and the socket which on the upper side cannot put any pressure on it so I need to use a staple or wooden piece between those 2 gfx's, so it can work properly. but still it doesn't work, it works but after some hours bluescreen appears. So I now tried to swap the gfx's as well as the bridge it seems fine but when it comes to load the windows it stops there the logo appears but afterwards its blank black screen.. can u tell me how can I swap these cards properly because when I tried the other one it seem the upper socket is putting some pressure properly. thanx

Could it be unrelated to the heavy pressure issue, if you said that it still does it even when you seperate them with the wood piece? What are your 2 cards?

Yeah the 5870's are Monster cards - The new CoolerMaster HAFX has a support like that built in.

And the 5850 isn't too much smaller - The weight of these new cards are more than mogtherboards can realistically handle.

Hahaha - pretty resourceful use of staples. Then you put too much weight on the lower one with that. You should try to makeshift some kind of platform that will support each individually. Is it an older mobo?

Do you have enough space to run them together but not side by side? As in do you have enough pci-e slots for that? If you do you can try that and use an extended crossfire bridge
