xfx geforce 7950 gx2 in gen5 crashes no matter what driver!!
i just installed a xfx geforce 7950 gx2 in my gen 5 and everytime i install either the xfx 91.27 driver or nvidia's 91.31 my system gets the blue screen of death every time i try to open up the nvidia control panel or open up the internet explorer... i cant figure it, i read alot of comments from newegg from customers who already have the 7950 and they say it works great... i am totally stumped.. i am running a 3.2 extreme edition overclocked to 3.6.. would the dual core cpu be causing these problems or is it system bios.. when i send the microsoft error message it says my crash is caused by a video driver.. does anybody have any idea as to what in the video driver is causing the crash??? totally stumped...

I am also using a 7950 GX2 in a Gen5. Had all sorts of bluescreen problems, and had to disable one of the two instances that appear in Device Manager, which stopped the bluescreens but left me running on half a card.
Just downloaded the 91.33 beta driver from nVidia at:
http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_downloads_rel70betadriver.html
Was able to re-enable the second instance and run in SLI mode, and have had no problems since!
I am using version A04 of the Phoenix BIOS for the mobo.

it's an nvidia driver problem. that video card is still new and they have to work out the drivers for it. i think your bios is fine. nvidia does have driver problems alot with certain video cards. it's a thing i learned from when i had a geforce4 ti4600 that never did work right.
