Hello all. From the look of it a lot of people are running into issues enabling SLi on their GTX cards (especially the 770's). Anyhow, I ran into a similar issue with my build last night.

I have a ASUS Sabertooth x79 MoBo and 4820K i7 for reference.

I installed first one GTX770 and downloaded and installed the newest driver from Nvidia's website. I then powered the computer down, and connected the next card and installed the SLi bridge. Booted the computer back up and there was no acknowledgement of the second card. Attempted to reinstall the driver, install failed. Turned off the computer, flipped the SLi bridge just for funsies, powered the computer back on and viola, SLi enabled and everything reading correctly in the control panel.

Now, here's my real question: IE 10 keeps crashing every time I try to navigate to any webpage other than the homepage. (Sorry, I'm running Windows 8 Pro 64bit). I am assuming this is due to a botched graphics driver...seeing as when I initially tried to reinstall the driver it partially copied the files, then failed. Can I get any kind of confirmation on this? I only ask because I'm also reading a ton of posts about Windows 8 IE being flaky out of the box.

Thanks guys!
