What's the PSU? And do you know that both PCIe slots are stable? (try using just one card in the second slot)
BTW, it's a 650W PSU.
I think if I understand correctly that you have the sapphire card in it now and it's running fine. If so I would just pop the msi card back in the lower slot and see how it does now since the Sapphire card is now installed fully.
I suspended BOINC, shut the rig down, put the MSI card in the lower slot, booted it back up. I verified both cards were in device manager, updated the Windows score (went from 3.9 to 5.9), rebooted, opened BOINC and let it run for a few minutes on the one card, then closed BOINC and edited the XML file to run on both cards. It seem to run fine for a while and I left. I came back a few hours later and it was locked again. I shut it down, took the Sapphire card out of the top slot and left the MSI in the bottom slot. I started it up and let it run. I saw it blue screen a few times with a "reference by pointer" error.
EDIT: MSI card is this one:

Sapphire card is this one:
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GD...
MSI card has no crossfire connector on the board, but the Sapphire does. Could that be something to this?
Also, now I am running the MSI card back in the top slot, and it seems to be stable. I also swapped around the PCIe cable and am using the one that was on the Sapphire card right now.
