Hello!
My computer specs are -
Intel i7 2600k
ASUS P8P67 Deluxe MOBO
8GB DDR3 RAM
Originally x1 MSI nVidia GTX 560 Ti Frozr II - trying to get the second to work.
Corsair TX750W PSU
F3 Samsung 1TB HD
A 120GB SSD I think a Intel one?
And at the moment running two monitors 22inch - both at 1650 x 1080?
I have had 1 560 Ti Twin Frozr II for over a year now running two 22 inch monitors no problem at all. I wanted to add a third in to the mix so bought a second 560 Ti.
Here is the problem - I installed the second card and turned on the PC again. No problems it found the card straight away - this was while running on like 297 nVidia drivers or something like that. Went to click on the 3D maximise button and it said something like applying chip. Then I got the sound you get when a USB stick gets pull out and the screens went black. Oh ***.
Straight on to google and found it was a problem others have had - tried all of the solutions they said and nothing seemed to apply or worked. Got on to the nVidia live support - and they suggested I first update my BIOS.
I have a ASUS P8P67 Deluxe so I updated it to the most recent BIOS. Tried again - didn't work.
Back on to nVidia live support - they said take out one card - check its stability using a program. Did that for both cards over the course of an hour. Both cards didn't crash and weren't running at 100 degrees C so they said both cards are stable. I did a bench mark test too and both came out at 1180 and 1189 for the scale of the program I used. So I guess all is well here.
At this point - I also found that there are a set of beta drivers 304.97 I think which address the SLI issue where the Graphics Cards disconnect and the screens go black. So I did a clean installation of the drivers and tried again. This time one of the cards disconnected - and the other didn't but it all crashed and fucked up and everything went big like when you have no driver installed.
The code I got from the Device manager was Code 43 which when googled ment that something with the hardware had failed? At one point I got this for both cards - but another time I got it for the card in Bus 1 which is the older card.
I tried two SLI bridges - one that came with an old mobo and is MSI branded and a newer one that came with my ASUS mobo.
At this point the nVidia shrugged me off and told me that it was a issue with my motherboard and that I should send my card back to the maker...
So my questions are -
How do I tell if its my motherboard that is the issue?
Could it be that TWO SLI bridges are broken?
Have I done something wrong?
Any idea's?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's my birthday and I can't use my new Graphics card
