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.

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.

I've done SLI for years, it's not an SLI problem. Did you test each card on it's own and running benchmarks, or did you just swap your graphics cards to different positions?

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???

+1 though I've never used a 3 way SLI Bridge, wouldn't think that'd be an issue, but it's worth trying.
