Crossfire help

Got two shiny new graphics cards.

1) Uninstalled old drivers.
2) Turned box off.
3) Took out the old graphics card and put in ONE of the new ones.
4) Booted up.
5) Windows freezes on startup.  Be in in normal mode, safe mode, ot even the recovery console.

What now?

check your bios

OP here

BIOS checks out fine.  All systems green.  Putting the old card back in makes everything work perfectly, and I can boot up into Windows just fine.

Putting any of the two new cards in gives me that freeze-on-startup problem.

Can you give us more information on how/when it freezes?
Does the new card show f.ex. logo on start-up etc.

I get to the "Windows is starting up..." screen (right before the login).  It freezes there each and every time.

If I attempt to boot into safe mode, I get the usual display of what's going to be loaded, and then a black screen with nothing more.

1. put old card back
2. reinstall old drivers
3. took out old card and put new without uninstalling of old drivers
4. ???????????
5. profit

YHBT YHL HAND

OP here.

More info:

-Both new graphics cards are HD 4850s.  Whether I put in one or the other, same symptons under WinXP SP3.
-However, if I attempt under Linux (Knoppix Live CD), everything works fine and dandy.
-BIOS is up to the latest stable update.
-I don't have a CD/key of Vista/7 lying around, so I can't try that solution at the moment.
-If I put the old card back in (X1950 Pro), everything works fine.
-Registry has already been cleaned of all leftovers from previous drivers.
-If I attempt to install the 4850 drivers with the X1950 in there, the installer simply refuses to proceeds and shuts down.
