980ti SLI Issues

Go to solution Solved by PCEnthusiastLuke,

what are your PC specs? Motherboard especially...

 

do you have an SLI bridge?

Yes, I use the one that came with the first 980ti, I have not tried the other one however... I'll do that now

Posted

Recently I purchased and installed a second 980ti to my system, and up until today I have had no troubles with it.

 

The second GPU has been in my system for a week, and today my PC will not boot.

 

I installed a speaker to my motherboard and received a beep code similar to 1 long beep, followed by 3 shorter beeps... After some research I found that this is a video card error! :(

 

Where do I go from here to try and fix the problem?

 

Regards,

My system has two 980ti's, I'm making up for my small gentials

Test both GPU's on their own, in both PCIe slots

Alright I'll have a go at that, I'll post again here in 10 minutes or so.

Atleast provide some additional information about your system... 

 

We can't do anything with "lolz it dsnt wrk, halp".

Just done this, moving each graphics card into each slot on their own produces the same results on all 4 occasions.

Found the problem!

 

As SeanAngelo mentioned, I swapped out the SLI bridges I had and it booted!

 

A very strange dilemma, but it seems to be fixed now :)
