So, I have only just noticed that my computer was not running SLI. I went to the nvidia control panel, and saw this:


After seeing that 2 of my MSI GTX 980 G4 Gamings were not being seen.
I went to device management, and saw this:



According to the properties, I have this error:

"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"

After googling it, I noticed that the actual error is incredibly vague. This has happened before too. And OCUK support RMA'd the other card, but now 2 more? It seems odd.

I do not know if the new replacement is getting the error as I cannot tell which is which.

My Full PC specs are as followed:

I7 5930K @ 3.5GHz
Asus Rampage V Extreme Motherboard
3x GTX 980 MSI G4 Gaming (Or 1? :P)
2x 2TB WD Green
Kingston HyperX 480GB SSD
EVGA 1000W P2 PSU
16GB Teamgroup DDR4 (4X4)

I have tried:

Re installing Graphics Drivers,
Rolling back to the first GPU driver,
Moved them into different PCI Slots

I have no idea what causes this, but I hope it only requires a software change.
Waiting 25 days for the 1 GPU I replaced was quite dull.

Oh well, Good thing GTA V is out! :D
