I have to correct me i tought it would work because it was running in my friends system. And it was also running before i reinstalled the drivers but now it does not work on its own in the system no matter which slot.

I will try another SLI bridge but i acutally think it may be the driver. I tried swapping the cards and running the new one allone and it actually does not work i thought it would but it didnt. The only weird thing is that it did work when i first started the pc, the game crashed but the nvidia control panel recognized the second card and i had sli. Now it just shows 1 card even tough i got both installed and connected. The 2. card cant be broken or something because it did run before i reinstalled the drivers.

Yes it is working on its own.

Hello, today a friend of mine gave me his Gtx 980ti. I installed it correctly into my Pc with all the required setup and extras like the SLI bridge. After that i started the Pc, everything worked great the card was showing up in the Nvidia Control Panel and i enabled PhysX for both cards. Because my single 980ti was running a little hot with its overclock i removed the overclock and put them both to their stock values so i dont fry both cards while benchmarking. Directly while benchmarking with Heaven the Pc crashed (blue screen with the error SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED) . No problem i restarted the Computer and tried Playing a game, same thing happens (blue screen). Then i removed the Nvidia Driver and did a fresh reinstall of all Nvidia drivers. Now the second card does not show up in the Nvidia control panel anymore. If i look into the device manager it says both cards are beeing detected. The second card however has a little exclamation mark saying error code 43. My bios also shows that both cards are runnng in both slots with 8x in every PCI-E slot. I would be happy if anyone could help me because i will not be able to figure this out on my own.
