Hi all. So I finished my build last night

3770k
Z77 sabertooth
2 x 128gb Samsung 830 in raid 0
2 x gtx 670 sli
1000w psu
Custom water loop
16gn corsair vengeance ram

Now when i install windows, my monitor is plugged into the hdmi slot on the first gtx670. The display works, but it is the usual low res display. Now after I have done windows update, I come to installing the driver supplied by evga on the disk. I go through all the install steps and then am prompted to restart. Upon restart the windows loading screen appears and then the monitor goes dark.

After a system restore I can get back into the computer.

I have installed the latest driver from Nvidia and also the beta driver and still no luck.

Is this a driver problem or card? I've googled this but have not found any clear cut answers. I hope you guys can help.

:D

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to reinstall widows when I get home and start again. I was thinking about disabling a card and trying them both seperately??

Is VGA mode safe mode?

I did download the latest aswel, still didn't work. I'm going to start from scratch I think. It's frustrating tho! Spent over £2500 on a system and now this! Grrrr
 
Think it's a dodgy gpu! One card boots fine on its own. The other card is jus distorted starlit straight from the off. Got into the bios and it honestly looked like I was looking at the matrix!! Green lines everywhere! Got to be a dodgy card surely?
