Playing games like watch dogs, far cry 4, among others I get a black screen after awhile but I can still hear game sound in the background.

Specs:
i-7-4700MQ 2.40 GHz
2 NVidia GT750m's running in SLI
8 gigs of ram

Heres some data I took from running furmark that appears to show one of the cards isnt doing anything. It was the same result even when I tried to run that card without sli by itself.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers with a display driver uninstaller and the issue still persists leading me to believe its a hardware issue. Any advice anybody could give would be greatly appreciated.

I took another set of data after 20 minutes of playing watch dogs and got this

So the GPU is working and I still have no idea why its black screening.
