hey guys so i've set my old Duel gtx 660 rig as a living room pc for the big screen and have noticed that when playing games there are red lines (almost like refresh rate lines) going down the screen, now i've tried using each card on tthere own and the problem is gone but when in sli the problem returns, Any idea what the problem is, tried everything and cant seem to find a solution.

I did a thing once and it was awsome: https://soundcloud.com/jamese666/junkhead-cover-with-vocals

your gpu memory is dying in one of the cards most likely. That would be my guess.

Artifacting probably.  Maybe due to dying VRAM?

try underclocking your memory.
