Instability in SLI mode

[qn261196]

well this is my fist computer build

 

I run into the instability problem of the computer.

 

First is the BSOD when i return my compter after hibernate or sleep however it only occurred when i turn the SLI mode on.

 

This is the link to the information file file: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xutlsp47jgqnevs/AADN7Rh2pz4DvqzB0BTf_4fha?dl=0.

 

 

 

After the BSOD the computer reboot however i notice that my PC is very very lag i have to reboot it again to run smoothly

 

What i already try:

 

Reinstall GPU Driver (complete uninstall in safe mode) - 353.30

Reinstall Windows

Update BIOS

Reset BIOS

Try difference SLI cable.

 

i also run Furmark on individuality GPU  ( 2 hour with no problem ) in SLI ( 1 hour with no problem ) Memtest ( 7 pass ) and prime 95 ( 2 hour small FFT  no problem )

 

So i just dont know what really the cause of those problem ??? much appreciate for anyone can help me.

Motherboard: gigabyte z97mx-gaming 5

 

Ram: G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (stock clock)

Heyyo,

Hmm, and does the same problem happen with only one GPU installed? What happens when you remove one? same BSOD or no? Test it for a few days too please. Try again with the opposite GPU only as well please.

Well when one GPU install no problem happen ( that the funny thing ) i already try for both card around 3 day with normal gaming 

 

And when disable SLI no problem happen also ( what the heck )

 

And when i turn on SLI i can play game or stress test it like normal ( The gpu temp stay max at 87 in furmark and 80 when i play gta 5 ). It only happen when i return form the sleep or hibernate mode ( every single time )

Heyyo,

Hmm... When you uninstalled drivers to upgrade them, did you use Display Driver Uninstaller?

http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/

• Download the program, extract it and restart in Safe Mode (F8 tap it during reboot after BIOS screen)
• Run DDU, Select "Clean & Restart"
• Once back in regular boot? it'll detect and install basic display drivers (DON'T select "Clean Install" under the custom settings, it sometimes has problems with SLI setups). Once that's done? Install the latest NVIDIA drivers for your GPU and then reboot
• (Optional)Once rebooted? Enable SLI!
• (Optional) Open up DDU (if it asks to reboot into safe mode? you don't need to, so say no) and then click on "Set Automatic Driver Installation to Default"

It's the safest way to upgrading drivers for an NVIDIA SLI setup. That whole "clean install" thing in the driver setup program is unreliable and sometimes fails to upgrade the second or third GPU in an SLI setup.

Hi ThE_MarD

 

indeed i also use Display Driver Uninstaller. i dont know what is the root of this problem ( hardware or software )

 

Is there any other test that i can do with it to know what exactly the problem ? Because all the stress test i do show no hardware problem at all.

 

Thank you in advance

Heyyo,

You can try running a memory test on your GPUs to make sure they're not defective:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cudagpumemtest/

Another good thing to do with SLI bridges? Use Isopropyl to clean the contact points on the card to make sure the SLI bridge makes as good as contact as possible.

Here's another good program for doing GPU memory tests

I can't check your BSOD dump file right now, but you can check it with this program to see if it helps locate the issue:
