El_Capitan Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Do a clean uninstall through the control panel and uninstall everything that starts with Nvidia. Reboot when it tells you to. When all that is done, use Treexy Driver Fusion (formerly Phyxion Driver Sweeper) to clean up any remnants on your drive and registry (will have to reboot). Then try installing the drivers with both cards with the SLI bridge connected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Capitan Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) i have done that too and also i have done a clean windows 7 install to try to solve the problem but the same thing happens Test each card separately on the same PCIE slot to see if they both work. If they do, test one of them on the 2nd PCIE slot. It could be a card or motherboard PCIE slot. Also, what PSU are you using? EDIT: nm, see that it's a PC Power and Cooling 950W.

wevsspot Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 My bet................ it's the #2 x16 PCIe slot on the motherboard. Just a gut feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you test each card on it's own and running benchmarks, or did you just swap your graphics cards to different positions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you test each card on it's own and running benchmarks, or did you just swap your graphics cards to different positions? i swap them in different pcie slots and i can use them with sli disabled ive played games like that without any problem but when i try to enable sli monitor goes off without signal and have to restar even though the pc seems keep working just the monitor goes off and when i restart the drivers arent recognized and in the control panel and system says error code 43 its very weird i will try to install a different copy of windows if not i will try to use each card alone to test if they are both ok will also try a different monitor in case if its my monitor that doesnt work i really need to fix this and btw thanks for the fast response man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 You know the last time I used the 3 way SLI Bridge for just 2 cards it caused weird issues in my system with my 2 GTX480's. SLI would not work at all for one and when playing games the system would go completely screwy. Consider getting a single Cable SLI bridge and try again to eliminate that???
