I brought a new pc about 18 months ago all the specs are in the picture attached,

I have 3 x 24 inch benQ monitors they were all hooked up to my pc but About 3 months ago my computer played up and all of a sudden I was unable to have all 3 monitors hooked up at once, I had 2 hooked up to one card and one to another but I could not get both graphics cards to work at the same time.

im thinking this is due to my sli bridge not working anymore?

i try to have all the monitors setup over 2 cards but my computer just crashes.

both the graphics cards work individually but not together, would anyone know why this is?

 

sorry for the terrible description, not sure the best way to word this because it's hard for me to explain it

Can you enable SLI with only 1 monitor?

Actually to be honest I don't even know if I have tried that, currently I am using 2 monitors on the one graphics card and that's working fine I can even put both the 2 monitors on the 2nd card and it still works just can't have 3 monitors over 2 cards

Well technically you can't enable sli with monitors plugged into two cards. 

 

Can you surround them? 

Take the bridge off and enable all monitors?

could be the bridge. I'd do a clean install of drivers. Bench mark each card with only a single screen and compare stats, temp score and clocks.
