Hello, added another card, 760 sli, the driver stops regulary and I just had a bsod, what todo? whelp

 

The cards are idling at 30 degrees, the screen blacks and the driver dies even when opening chrome, currently only using one monitor (connected with the new card and sli disabled, still happens) 

 

Some sort of kernel 344.60 driver dies, and I couldn't catch the bsod error message.

Download and use "Display Driver Uninstaller" to completely remove your display driver. Follow all instructions including booting into safe mode, once you've done that download and install a fresh copy of the latest non-beta driver from Nvidia.com and test to see if the BSOD continues. @Transon You also need to follow a topic when you make it or after you post it to be notified when someone posts on it.

Roll back to the previous driver.

I've had a Kernel related problem before and rolling back won't fix it. You need to completely remove all relevant files to the Nvidia driver and re install them or it's likely that the problem will persist.

Did a fresh install now, looks good so far but any way to test if it's a lasting solution? Thanks for the help :)

It won't always fix it though, that's why you just go ahead and do the carpet bomb approach so you only have to do it once.

Just play your games, if you enabled SLI without a BSOD then your problem was fixed.

No bsod this time but the driver suddenly stops and the screen blacks out, any solution to this?

Are you overclocking?

Nope, no overclocking. But the problem is solved, the new card didn't work properly in the upper PCIe, so with the old in upper and new in the lower it works perfectly with the 344.60 driver. :)

Odd, makes me think there's a bios issue. Though if it's working like it is I see no reason to pursue the issue, just remember which card goes where.
