Hi
I dont know what to do now.
Yesterday I assebled my first SLI computer:
Mainborad: Asus R.O.G. Rampage III Formula, X58
CPU: Intel Core i7 990X BOX, 3.46GHz, LGA 1366, 6C/12T
RAM: ADATA XPG Gaming v2.0 3x4GB Kit, DDR3-1600
HD: OCZ SSD Revo-Drive RX2 240GB and Barracuda XT 3.5" 2TB SATA-3
Power: be quiet! DARK POWER PRO, P9 850W 80plus Gold
And 2x Gainward GTX-460 GLH 1GB DDR5, PCI-E 2.0 x16
I assebled first the grafic card on the first PCI-Ex16 slot, the Revodrive on the second and the second grafic card I didn't put in.
Everything was OK, I coud install Windows 7 64 bit without any problems on the SSD. The bios I put on default walues and to install the windows on SSD I had to add a driver at the beginning of the installation. Then I added all necessairy drivers, also the actual grafic driver from nvidia-hompare (not the CD from Gainward).
Then I put in the second grafic card on the 3rd slot, added the 2 x 6-pin power supply for this card too, added the SLI bridge between the two cards and started the computer. The messages from the bios were OK until windows should start, but there was only wisible a wihte small dash on the black screen and nothing else happend.
What shall I do now? Its my first attempt to install a SLI system. Should I sell the two grafic cards and by a better in single-mode use? I will loose some hundreds of dollars with that...
Greetings
Martin
