Problem with SLI, BSOD

Go to solution Solved by Ryan Leech,

Clear CMOS, then update your bios, and install stable drivers

So guys, I have a problem when enabling SLI mode on the rig bellow, it has the latest WHQL Nvidia driver (327.23), I enable SLI (3D configuration) and I click "Apply" then comes right away a blue screen.

The PSU is not a problem, not even the PCIe slots, and the graphics cards are 

 

 

Rig:

Intel Core i7 2600k

Asus P8z68-v Pro

16GB DDR3 Crucial

2-way Galaxy GTX 560Ti 1GB

Thermaltake 800w PSU

Corsair H80

CM HAF 912

 

The only things I didn't checked was the SLI bridge if it is on the right side but I believe that does not have any influence on the which side i've plugged.

But another thing I don't remember if I did a Clean Install of the nvidia driver. So how do I do this? just go and uninstall the driver, and then re-install again ?

Or maybe the monitor set up, I use a 22" monitor as main display (DVI port)  and a LG 42' LED TV (mini HDMI port) that use for preview on Premiere Pro CC.

I saw one guy saying on a forum that when he uses only one monitor the SLI works fine, but when he plugs his others monitors (that are not the same as the main) goes blue screen.

Did you try it with only one monitor plugged in?

No, I didn't cause I need the TV for preview and color correction.

 

IIRC you use the left connectors for 2-way SLI, the other two are for 3 and 4x.

The GTX 560 Ti has only one plug for SLI, so it's only capable of doing 2-way.

 

Yep, just install and reinstall. 

Ok, I'll try that.

The driver is WQHL, so it is stable, but the bios need an update, but I don't know how, I tried through AI Suite II, but the connection does not work.

And how do I clear CMOS ? take off the little CMOS battery, or just use the jumper ?

I did a clean install on nvidia driver and I updated the bios trough AI Suite II without using clear CMOS, and now it works. Thank you guys for helping me!
