Hi

I have just installed 2 780s and I think they are causing the computer to crash non-stop. The PC started to crash when I started a game, but a few minutes later it is now crashing when surfing the web looking for answers to this issue!

The error report is as follows

Log Name: System

To be honest I don't understand any of this, apart from the fact that an Event 41 means something has caused windows to shut down due to an unforeseen event. Whatever that means. I have read that people who get this issue usually resolve it by uninstalling drivers for the cards and doing another install, which I've done. Nothing has changed. I thought it might be an issue with the new monitor I have, but it crashes on an old monitor as well - must be the cards. NVidia panel recognizes the two cards, as does windows. Literally every game I open - Crysis, metro, guild wars, doesn't matter - it WILL crash. I also read it could be power supply, but I'm pretty certain it isn't since I have more than enough juice (I think - is 1250W enough?) I also read it could be to do with audio drivers. There could be a conflict between my external sound card and other drivers. I turned off the NVidia drivers and just used my external one and vice versa but still crashes in exactly the same way.

Really, really stuck!

Can anyone make anything of the above error?

Would shifting them from x2 pcie 16 lanes to x2 pcie 8 lanes make a difference?

Hi BigMack

tried that, and other variants. Still not working. Updated bios. Didn't work. Out of ideas.

Could I disable the realtec sound card and use nvidia ones? Maybe there's a conflict.
