Hi!

My Rig:

Motherboard: GA-X79-UD5 (BIOS 13w)
GTX 770 SLI
CPU i7 3820


I just updated my GPUs from 2 GTX 580 to 2 GTX 770, and I had to update the bios to make them work. I have the latest drivers (331.65) and there is no OC now on my CPU or GPUs.

The thing is that the PC is working fine, I even run some stress test from AIDA64 and a memtest and everything is ok. But after beeing playing for a while (Batman, BF4, etc) when I close the game it freezes or it gives me a BSOD (the dump file says that the nvidia drivers failed).

I don't know if I should reinstall windows... I tried reinstalling drivers and still happening. If I open the game and I close it right away it's not happening, it just happen if I play for a while.

The temperatures are ok (below 70 on the GPU and below 60 on the CPU).


Any idea? I mean I can play and everything but its VERY ANNOYING.


Thank you guys so much! :D

Well, I fixed it XD

The thing was that all my previous motherboards had the pci slots like:

x16

x16

x8

ok?


but this one was


x16
x8
x16

and I had the Sli on the 2 first ones.. (Noob mistake).


Hope this helps somebody that makes this stupid mistake :p lol
