Hi,
I recently got a pre-built pc and when I turned (Monitor plugged into DVI port on one of the graphics cards and it would go through the mobo/windows startup then go black screen and say DVI signal lost. Starting the computer in safe mode disables the graphics adapter and lets me manually disable it so that I can run in non safe mode in 800x600 res with no graphics cards. I tried plugging into the DVI on both graphics cards, removing the sli tether and even taking one card completely out of the tower and trying with just one card and then the other, same problem. It couldn't be that both my graphics cards and broken could it? Also I've installed drives off the disc and downloaded straight from nvidia about 4 times now.
 
Solution
first you have to enable the SLI configuration in the nvidia gpu driver
second if its 4 times you installed the driver...it can be a driver conflict , remove all gpu driver and all files assiociated cleanly
after install one gpu at the time... and reinstall the gpu driver with only one gpu card in place...then reboot

after install the second one and you need to enable SLI in the nvidia driver software

i do not know which monitor you have..but check if you have display port or hdmi connector
