Sli not working =( help?

[Surveyor]

Wow, his post was usefull, what's the problem I pulled you up on your quite frankly uncalled for comment, now you trawl through my posts and start on me.
Have you really got nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon other than annoy fellow forum users?

I like to know who's having a go at me.

It looks like we're both having busy afternoons.

I like how the last 2 responders haven't read the entire thread.

Actually I had read the entire thread and was merely stating the draw power of 470sli and that a 600w psu would not be enough.

Ok... so...

I have been only playing WoW and I have been ok playing Rift with no seen issues and SLI clearly working (all settings are quite high)

But... when I just try and load a map in BFBC2 and i get a blue screen every time... Any ideas???

Have you tried the 270.51 beta drivers?

 

[rolypolyman]

Read this Microsoft article, it may help.

I'm currently running the 270.51 beta drivers and so far they are rock solid. Worth a try.

Are you running your system overclocked, if so try it at stock, could be a memory/voltage setting issue. Bfbc2 is a pretty strenous game that will show up any overclocking instabilities.

Nope, I'll give them a go now, ta =)

Nope not running any clocks atm. I do however intend to restore my OCUK profile when i get this all sorted.

 

[Solemn]

Installed new drivers.

Now I am no longer getting a BSOD which is progress, but BFBC2 is just terminating. Once I managed to load a map, was in the game for about 30 seconds, and then i jumped back to windows With the message asking about not using the windows 7 theme because my systems preformance has dropped..

So something must be happening to have windows terminate a game because BFBC2 is using too much resources on an i7 Sli 470 system =/


Any ideas?


Thanks again for all your help with this!

Off to bed in a bit, but i did notice something,

running BFBC2 without sli turned on, I didnt have an issue, but i had SpeedFan running in windows and my Core temps were getting pretty high so then I thought ahh maybe its over heating, so I put SLI back on and had speed fan running in the background again, while in the server list area my CORE temps are 70+... No idea what temps I would be looking when loading a map because I am getting the BSOD again!!!

Anyways, I am just using the stock cooler until I can put my system into my WC rig. But just wanted to make sure all my components were working right before I do that.. I'm still concerned I have a dodgy PSU, anyway I can check that for sure?

Ta guys!
