Hey guys

A friend of mine has a awesome computer

Core i7 extreme
ASUS Maximus extreme II Mobo
12Gigs of RAM
GTX295
32Gb SSD drive

etc etc

Now,we 3D marked his computer, and his processor (Stock speed) was faster than the guys that hold the record.

But his GTX 295 was lacking (their 4 x 5870 scored 50000 points, his card scored 25000)

se we decided to SLI his card, with mine.

He has teh ASUS GTX 295 Rev 2.0, I have the Gigabyte Rev 1.0

SLI worked, crysis was at above 70 frames constant (64Q x AA, 16 x AF)

Now, we took the cards off, and his card doesnt work!!!!

We just get a black screen

Now, could it be that we left SLI mode enabled?

or did we burn out the card? (we watched temps, and put a desk fan blowing air so that they wont overheat, and the cards were at 100% fan speed...)

what could it be?

You swift replies will really be appreciated!

Not sure what you mean???

the cards worked fine before we SLI'd them. I added my card, enabled quad SLI, and we started Benchmarking/ Lauging at Crysis....

when we took them of though, we left it on Quad SLI. we actually just shut down the computer, and pulled out my card, and put his card into the 1st slot (where mine was)
 
i am not very familiar with nvidia but i am assuming if you just put everything back to the way it was before, you should be able to at least boot up (assuming it isn't the card) and disable sli. if that doesn't work then just try it in a different computer too.
 
thats the thing. it was working in SLI.

we just turned off the computer, pulled my card out of slot 1, and pulled his out of slot 2, we put his card in slot 1, and booted.

he just gets a black screen...
 
its summer here (very wet summers here)

Static is VERY minimal.

and we made sure nothing like that was the issue...

lights are on, but its like the GPU doenst have power...

We tried different cables from his Corsair HX1000, but nothing...
 
does it still work in sli out of interest?
you could try swicthing his card for yours or maybe tesing yours on his pc to see if it is a hardware issue
 
thats what we gonna do.

he will try checking all conection, changing connection, putting his card in second slot, and if that wont work, we will SLI them, and see...
