I built my PC back at the end of May with a friend of mine. Here are the specs:
OCZ 700w GameXStream Power Supply
OCZ SLI 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz
XFX nForce 780i SLI Socket 775 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3Ghz 6MB 1333FSB
XFX GeForce 8800 GT 512MB Zalman Ed
Since we built it it has run excellent and I have had no problems with it.
Today however I went to install a second 8800gt (The same exact version as above) to SLI my machine and got the hardware installed fine and everything. I made sure it was connected to the power supply, I placed the bridge on correctly. It went well.
I then powered on my machine installed the newest set of drivers and enabled SLI mode. I than began messing around in some games and browsing the internet. Then after around 10-15 minutes of this the PC just shut down. It will not start back up now either. Only A small blue and yellow LED light are on on my motherboard.
I am not a genius when it comes to hardware and such so I am at a loss as to what the problem can be.
Thanks for any suggestions as to what the problem is and how to fix it.
(P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong section but it seems like it is the right place to ask about this.)
