So I got my self a second ASUS GTX660-DC2OCPH-2GD5 and a new Motherboard; MSi Z97 MPOWER-OC SERIES
My current setup;
Intel i3 4330 3,5Ghz
12 GB RAM DD3 1600Mhz
2x ASUS GTX660-DC2OCPH-2GD5
Corsair TX850W PSU
1,5TB HDD
LG 27' LED
WINDOWS 8.1 64x
After Ive mounted the second card ive deinstalled all the drivers using Driver Sweeper and reinstalled then afterwards. Im running the latest 340.52, and after I've done that nothing was stable anymore on the PC, kept having random black sreens, random reboots, then I had the 'Driver stopped working and has succesfully recovered" error.. after hours and hours trying all those tips over the internet I've got it stable, so I finally tryied to enter Battlefield 4 MP, I managed to enter the game and play actually and I tought I've fixed it, I was playing like 20minutes with a really nice FPS increase, the gameplay as smooth as never before,.. but then again I've left the game and restarted my PC and there it was again.. constant reboots, constant crashes... errors like "driver stopped working..", "devicehung.." Blackscreens and sometimes my Screen would just blink with no picture. So I've even tryied to replace the cards and put them on different slots but nothing was stable enough..
So after hours & hours of surfing I've managed to reinstall all the drivers once again and get my PC stable. So I got the note that my setup is SLI ready, I've checked that again in Nvidia Control Panel and clicked on 'Enable SLI' and for Processor/Phyx I've clicked 'Auto' and it choose GPU2.
I've tryied to enter BF4 again and got it working but my game was running on very stuttery 15-30FPS.
So I changed the SLI settings to Processor/Phsyx to GPU 1 and got all the crashes again after a second I've ticked the box...
Im clueless anymore I dont know what Im doing wrong or what is wrong, so if anyone has an solution or a fix It'll be appreciated, im tired I've spend hours of searching and trying nothing helped tbh..

Both cards are 100% functional, GPU 1 is 2weeks old was running excellent, GPU 2 arrived today and was tested in single mode 100% functional aswell..

I hope someone has a solution im even willing to reward te helping persong with a 25euro paysafecard or any gift card...
Im clueless and its annoying that I cant find the problem...

thankds in advance..
