I have 2x GTX 260's in SLI. When I start the computer, the nvidia drivers (latest whql) fail to load. I have a 1000w power supply and a Asus P5n-t mobo running Vista 64. When I look in the device manager it shows both cards, but there is an exclamation point over them, and it says, "Windows has stopped the device because it reported problems (error code 43). Any advice? I googled it and didn't find anything useful.

Thanks in advance

Cesium

right click on the gtx260 and click uninstall and reinstall it.
code 43 means driver conflict i believe.

I think the SLI bridge was not connected properly, and it was registering as a hardware conflict (2 cards)

thanks for the help
