After the damn Internet Problem i got it running, the newest ATI driver don't work, i get funny pics ... So i installed an older driver, activated Crossfire but aquamark 3 crashed all the time. And some mins ago i got the error RAM full ... can't start anything.

I'll NEVER build my own PC again ... They cheched for the parts to run together but nothing seems to work, i think the RAM error occures as soon as i activate Crossfire :(

But i can feell the power my pc :D the first 3 minutes of Aquamark 3 (Before buescreen) are running twice as fast(i think thats a hint that's something wrong) as my friends PC but with FPS of 190, he got 60 xD

Hope i will get crossfire working ... Damn drivers.

just to try to isolate the problem, have you tried to run dxdiag (start -> "run.." -> type dxdiag to box and run it) and see which gives most trouble ? maybe enable/disable fast-write or what it was called, this was on the display tags if I recall correctly.
btw, from what I saw on the net it seems that all those are using Open-gl.. I'm not sure about that thought, but if that is the case then maybe there is a problem on that part of drivers. Do you have possibility to test if it crashes for game you know to run opengl and for another game known to run at direct3D ? the compliance to latter can be tested fully by using dxdiag btw..
