SLI suddenly missing?

all the board has been checked. its been fine all afternoon. playing shift 2 with an 850mhz core speed on both cards without issue.

if I restart, there is a 50/50 chance it will need a driver reinstall and windows will take ages to boot :confused:
 
Random idea but maybe the chipset is having problems and the board is on the way out?
 
problem identified finally

Andrew Moore has the same setup as me

2600k
z68x ud5
480 SLI
Xonar PCIe card

he gets the same problem.
turns out it is an issue with the mothebroard. emailling gigabyte now.
 
At least you've indentified the problem now, hopefully Gigabyte will be able to help, maybe they are already aware and am working on a more up to date bios. Good luck and keep us posted, will be interested to see how Gigabyte handle this. :)
 
they are aware of the problem and I have some support on the way :)

it seems to relate to the following.
motherboards with two high bandwidth graphics cards and a pcie sound card that is outputting to 2560X1600

so a very specific issue.
in the meantime I am looking at different boards as I cant do anything at the moment unless I take my sound card out :(

Did they give you any idea of the eta for support?

Each to their own though I would have thought removing your sound card would be the better decision for now, at least you can game, and I'd imagine the audio chip on your mobo is one of thee best available anyway? :)

they are sending an engineer from TW next week as a routine support visit so I will demonstrate it then.

I am removing the soundcard for the time being as rubbish sound is better than constant driver reinstallations. but realtek sound is in no way good enough.
