Afternoon all,
Today my friend has brought me his computer to fix as it keeps locking up when i enable sli and i was hoping one of you guys could help me out, so to start with here are the specs:
gigabyte P55M-UD4 rev 1
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz
8gb Team Group Team--Elite-1333 DDR3 SDRAM
Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 (896 MB) x2 SLI
icute 1000w psu
Samsung F3 1TB
LG BDROM
Win7 pro 64bit
Anyway when the computer came to me it just wouldnt boot with both cards installed but it would with just one card installed and he tells me he hadnt done a fresh install so that was the 1st thing i did, i grabbed a hdd and installed a fresh copy of win 7 pro with both cards installed, everything installed fine so i went to nvidia to get the latest drivers which are 260.99 and installed them in safe mode, then i updated directx and when i tried to enable sli in the nvidia control panel the computer just locks up and reboot then when i go back to nvidia control panel its disabled again.
Sometimes it blue screens after enabling sli but the screen doesnt stay there long enough to get the error code :( if any more info is needed ill do my best to get it.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Micky
