780i upgrade, now crashes?

[jason57gizmo]

I have a pc that has been running fine. i play alot of WoW (world of warcraft) and decided to try sli (got a great deal on a 2nd 8800gtx). Im getting crashes constantly in WoW, which is pretty much all i play. My specs are:

e6600
850psu (thermaltake black widow)
4 gigs of ocz ram (ocz2g8002gk pc2 6400 timing is 555 12
changed from a gigabyte ga-965p-ds3 to an evga 780i sli mcp (p/n 132-ck-nf78-a1)
500 gig wd hdd
8800gtx 768 (have 2 but am only using 1 at the moment)

ive pulled out the 2nd 8800gtx, and am still getting crashes in wow. I have a larger (1200 watt) psu on the way from newegg, but in not sure if that will solve the problem. I have a hunch it lies in the ram or in the bios. ive already rolled back the nvidia driver from 180 (something like that) to 178.24. Im still in the return period from newegg and am willing to pay the restocking fee to go with another board if the need be. and thoughts are appreciated!!!!

have you tried each card individually jason?

 

[jason57gizmo]

yes, same thing. the card that is in there is the original one ive had for many months. the internet browser also locks up on me.

i would highly suggest asking for assistance from EVGA forums. its their product and have a very active, helpful community. not saying people arent helpful here but over there, you will be asking people that actually own the product ( and lost of them) and chances are, you are experiencing something many other people have been through. good luck!

good advice! i went on their forums, and realized they had a recent bios update...and poof! it all seems to work fine now! update is nf78_p08.bin
