i just installed a second video card tonight to run SLI on this machine and have had a few issues.
let me start by saying i flipped the card on the mobo, (asus a8n sli deluxe), to read "dual video cards", i have put the bios setting to sli, turned the sli setting on in the video settings, made sure i have the current nvidia driver 9.1.3.1, made sure to plug in the 4 pin atx power cable into the EZ Plug, and of course there is power to both cards.
now, the issues im having are this. i started to play some bf2, turned the video settings up to high and joined a game. noticed some video lag, exited game and lowered settings. upon re-entering a server and loading the game crashed to desktop. i right clicked desktop went to properties->settings->advanced->GeForce 6800 GT tab and as soon as i clicked that last tab the machine rebooted. so i let it reboot. double checked my bios, tried to go to that tab again and again it rebooted. so this is where i am at now. as you can see in my sig i have ample power. the mobo supports it. i am at a loss here.
any ideas?
