Hi all I keep getting the topic title. I got it while playing BF3 a couple of times also get it when playing the SWTOR beta. So not just one game.

I'm running the latest Drivers. SLI GTX 580.

Any suggestions to what is causing the problem?

both games are beta, have you tried running on a released game ?

try running it on a single 580gtx.

when you say latest drivers are they the bf3 beta ones ?

It did do it on the witcher 2 a while ago just one time.

yes the BF3 ones.

ill try on a single card.

just to add it did do it before i updated the drivers.

but not very often. I just used one graphic card. And it did the same after 20 mins just going to do the other one on its own.

when the error comes up does it detail any more information ?

apart from what i said and the driver im using.

I just used the other one solo. on BF3 for an hour with no crash.
So does that mean it is the graphic card?

this is what normally happened when you have overclocked too much or your cards are running too hot possibily, have you tried something like occt to check that your system is stable with their current clock speeds?

have not overclocked them

And yeah i have tried both in the same PCI-E slot

sounds like the one gfx card is having problems then.

download gpu-z and check the temps of the cards.

i can say when i pulled the first one out after it crashed again it felt bloody hot

So to me it is the card.

As the other one works fine doing the same things.

•Adds or updates SLI profiles for Battlefield 3.

yeah got that already. I think it is the card. like i said did the same test on both one lasted 20mins max then died. the other one works no problem. Only got in june from here so contacted them about it

And to do a temp test is not needed as you can feel the diffrence it gets that hot lol.

But thanks for help.
