I've been using Windows 7 (64-bit) regularly for some time now and I've installed several newer games to play on the OS. The problem is that I am having hard lockups when running games in DirectX 10 and I can't figure out why. I have two 4870s in CFX which are running the latest drivers (catalyst 10.1) and I just installed the latest version of CCC today.
At first I thought that it was just CrossFireX causing the hard lockups (even though Mass Effect 2 ran close to perfect) so I disabled it but the problem persists. Every time a game freezes up, like BioShock 2 or Call of Pripyat, I need to manually restart my computer because it becomes unresponsive! The trend seems to be random but I haven't been able to collect ANY data on this because the games do not just crash. It's one thing if they crash to desktop but I hate having to restart my computer when it's locked up.
Any suggestions on what to try or am I just gonna have to wait for some patches? Thanks in advance for any info...
