hi all, just recently i got a water block for one of my 280, so i removed one from sli and am currently running 1 card on water. I tried puttin the other 280 back in to use for a dedicated physics card untill i get my other water block. And thats where I ran into a problem, now keep in mind i had these 2 cards in this mobo, asus p5q running sli for about 2 weeks previous without one problem.
Now whenever i put both in at the same time it will freeze at the windows screen where the lil blue bar moves as windows loads. So, I did what anyone would do, I individually tested each card, then individually tested each pci slot. Everything checks out by itself, but together i get nothing. i have green lights on both cards, and like I mentioned they were running sli for a while with no problems.
I also set everything to failsafe defualts in the bios, tried clearing cmos, tried with sli bridge on and off.I dont understand how they worked flawlessly a few days ago, but now wont even get into windows.
nothing has been changed driver wise, im thinking of reinstalling the nvidia drivers.
system specs as follows:
corsair 750 psu
asus p5q deluxe mobo
8 gigs of g.skill pi
9650
2x280 gtx
