ATI Video Crossfire Device Error (Code 12)
Hi Have had ATI Crossfire running on two x1950x cards without problem on XP.
Updated to Home Premium and almost installed Vista compatible drivers on the two graphics cards. The Crossfire Edition card appeared to work but the standard X1950X failed to install as the device had a "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)" error. Some of the websites state that you should look for conflicts - but the card under Resources in Properties says no resources allocated due to lack of resources. Other webistes suggest changing the UMA Buffer size - that doesnt appear in the AMI Bios I have on my ASUS motherboard. Can anyone help please? Thanks |

Update - still no solution but ATI and ASUS engineers point at each other
and forum n both sites are full of people with the same problem - so hopefully someone will crack soon and fix this.

Further happy info. ASUS support came back and suggested putting the latest
BIOS in (even tho it didnt contain fixes for the problem). This wasn't easy as nothing would autorun and had to get programmes running / file pointing manually with everything downloaded locally (recommended update from internet wouldn't work). Once the update was complete (which removed MDU-141 whatever that is) both videocards worked as normal. Then applied ATI's own drivers to use crossfire - and voila! as they say in Germany. Whole system still has occasional BSODs on video mode transitions (but not more than one every couple of hours - but I assume this is the joy of having a new shiny OS!).
