In case anyone has any pointers...

Regardless of whether the cards are set to their locked 1408 shaders or unlocked 1536 I get total lockups after some gameplay. It might take 5 minutes it might take 50, but at some point the screen completely freezes (or goes dark) and the PC stays running. But it requires a hard reset to actually do anything.

I disabled Crossfire and tried it on a single card and had it crash on me after about 15 minutes or so.

I guess I need to do some more temperature testing to see how hot the cards or CPU are getting. Probably a good idea to make sure my BIOS is up to date as well. If it's not temperature related I think it might be the ATI drivers... in which case I get to play around with testing previous versions. Fun.
