Hello, i just bought a gtx 590 mainly for folding. Previously i had been using a 8800 gt. With all cards the screens they are attached to lag severely when folding so i figured i could continue using the 8800 for desktop use and fold full time with the 590. Their is also the possibility of folding with both when i am not using the computer, as i have been doing.
anyway it arrived and i put it in. Things seemed to run ok, i installed the latest nvidia driver (one by choosing "500" series on their site), and started things up. It worked for a little while then crashed with a "Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed". I have tried many things up until 2 AM to fix it but it always crashes maybe 15 minutes into using the computer. I can attempt to restate all i have tried if it becomes necessary. Temps are good under 70. Is their a proper way to install mutiple gpus that i am unaware of?
Win 7 ultimate.
gtx 590 in the bottommost slot
8800 gt in the top slot
corsair 750w
nforce 680i sli
some quad cord cpu i forgot the name of.
some sata hard drives, etc.
6 gb memory 800 mhz.
I also took off any overclocking of cpu/memory for testing this.
thanks
