yes. I had Asus Matrix 5870 CF before got ARES and no problem with 5870 CF.
just Video Cards changed in my system.
Should not have installed smart doc, thats where the problem lies it corrupts the driver. Thats why I told you to JUST install the driver on the disc nothing else. Otherwise I think you are going to have to return them mate and just use simpler cards as this may be a bit too advanced for you.

Yeah, I agree with you. I'm gonna try to reinstall Windows 7 and install just driver.
These cards are too New and already expected some problems.
well again , thank you so much helping me out tinytomlogan.
ps.
Question is without smartdoc the ARES can control FAN speed itself?

The normal driver works... I have told you 3 or 4 times CCC doesnt work.
I hate to be harsh dude but if you had followed our advice it would be working already.

As Tom has said multiple times.
DONT USE 3rd party Drivers ( Catalyst Control Centre is BAD )
use ONLY the "Display Driver" on the disk with out any other software installs from ASUS/ATI.
It would be best to do this from a Fresh install of windwos as u have corrupted ur driver set.
So....
1. Reinstall windows.
2. Install the "Display Driver Only" off the disk supplied with ARES
3. Crossfire "will not" work

Thx for advice br1th1shB33f
with fresh installed Windows 7 and just driver ( from ARES CD ) works fine.
question is when I choose just driver, there are 2 files I found which are C7_97029 & CH_97029
I just wasn't sure about those files...chosen C7_97029 to installed.
but still so far so good. no more BSOD
Anyway I thank to everyone who help out this problem.
We got there in the end. If you followed the advice from the start youd have had it sorted alot sooner fella.
The Ares disc should auto install the drivers for you, but DO NOT install any Catalyst programs from the ATI website (yet) and dont install any of the Asus programs on the disc. Also keep that 2nd GPU out of the system.
Id also say tbh send the 2nd one back as CF does not work, and I cant see that changing very soon dude. 4 gpu's never work that well together so spend the money on a 980x or something!

I'm gonna keep 2nd ARES. Maybe in the future Asus support 4 gpu driver. Hopely...
