Okay, well here is where I stand! I got my PC up and running about a week ago after about two weeks of hassles and wierd things not working out for me. But what I'm running is a Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR mobo and I just got my SLI bridge in today (yet again another long story!). What I need to know is, do you change ALL of your pins on the mobo for SLI mode, or do you just change some of them. Because I know the way the mobo comes its not setup to run SLI. You have to change the jumpers, I just need to know do I change all of them over, or just a certian row or even just certian jmpers. Nothing I've found in my manuel or on the website tells me. I've changed all of them as of right now, and my PC boots up to the Windows logo screen and acts like its going to go into the actual log-in screen. But then it either locks, or goes to the blue scree of death saying that some configuration error has hard locked it basically! I'm kind of at a loss, because I thought each row of jumpers were set for one card on each PCI-express slot, but I could be wrong. So I just decided to trade them all over, anyway, if someone has a good idea please let me know! Thanks!

I also in the past couple of hours of working on my PC that it's actually going past the Windows Splash screen on XP, and I can actually hear it going into windows, but I now have just a black screen. I can't seem to figure out why it's doing this. I've got the 66.93 video drivers since I have a Geforece 6800 ultra. I plug into the top one, but I'm still not sure what the roblem is. Beause I can sill run my PC with one card. But as soon as I change the jumpers over to SLI mode, I can get to the Windows Splash screen, and it boots up after the splash screen, but right after everthing loads, it goes to a black screen. I can hear windows going to the main desktop, but it dowsn't show it. So I'm up for ANY ideas to help me out, I SURE would appreciate it. I'm getting tired of this PC not working when I need it to. I've flashed the bios as well, with the newest one. So rule that out as well!
Thanks!

I am having very similar issues - not sure yet why SLI will not work. I run x64 so that might be a problem (also have DVI widescreen though).
