Dual GTX 480's in SLI Computer restarting
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I've got two GTX 480's in an SLI setup, and when I play games with higher end requirements they sometimes restart my computer. It just goes straight to a black screen, no warning or anything.
Here's my system:
i5-3570K @4.5Ghz with H80i
Dual GTX 480's stock speeds, EVGA
ASUS P8Z77-V PRO
PC Power and Cooling 950w 80-PLUS silver
480's are hitting 96c which is normal, cpu stays at about 60c with the liquid cooling system.
I'm using Nvidia drivers 310.90, I've tried a few previous versions with no results, I've also tried the SLI patcher to no avail.
Any help or a point in the right direction would be appreciated

I did isolate both cards using software called video card stability test located here

One was faulty.
FYI 90-100c is "normal" for gtx 480's.
I ended up dumping the 480's getting a 660 ti and a 560 ti for physx, because.... half the heat etc

I definitely *didn't* have a problem with you, just a job and a life that demands attention. I appreciate your attempt to help. Here's what happened (if anyone else is interested)
