    Hi, I was wondering is there any way to check if both of my 1GB ATI 5870 in CrossfireX are working?

    I went on HWmonitor to check my gpu 1 and it froze and then BSoD, so i went into f12 and did a full diagnostic check (March A, B, C, LA, RA, and don't know what others cause i sorta passed out) and it passed...but i can't tell if it checked the gpu's.

    Spec's if needed:
    M17xR2
    AW BIOS: 06
    1920x1200 RGB
    Processor: Intel i7 820QM
    RAM: 6GB DDR3
    Windows 7 64bit
    Graphics Card: Dual 1GB ATI Radeon Mobility HD 5870 in CrossfireX
    ATI Driver Packaging Version: 8.692.2

    I've been wondering the same thing about my 5870's in XFire since I'm having major problems. I just downloaded HDMonitor Pro and it doesn't even show my GPU's, what's the deal?

    Download HWinfo32 or GPU-Z and you will be able to see your temps and core status
