Yeah, its prolly related to this. I was previously running two 7870's in crossfire, overclocked, and would get somewhat random crashes. At first I thought it was just a overheating issue once I realized Afterburner wasn't regulating my 2nd GPU's fan correctly and had temps well over 90. After setting up the 2nd fan in CCC and bringing the temps down, I would still get occasional crashes OC'd (which was running smooth before crossfire). After dropping back the OC, I haven't had any more issues, yet..
