9800GTX+ Red Screen SLI

[mr_tea]

So i did a little research and just purchased two 9800GTX+ and am very happy with the result of one card's performance over my 8800GTS that i had. The problem is that when I turn on SLI everything seems to be fine until I load up ANY game. Whether it be BFBC2 or COD4 or CODMW2, the result is the same. Everything is red and flashing. I can still see the game but there is like a red layer over everything that flashes a little bit.

After a little troubleshooting I have landed here. So here is what i have tried:

• Swapped slots on motherboard
• Upgraded BIOS
• Set BIOS to default
• Tried driver version 197.13 and 197.45
• Checked all cable conenctions
• So i come to you for help! Please let me know what you think!

Run a single card and try loading up your games again. Try again with the second card and let us know what happens.

I had the same problem when my 9800gx2 went bad. Was fine with SLI disabled, everything was red with SLI. I assumed one of the GPUs went bad in my case so one of your cards might be bad in your case. Try only using one at a time and swapping them to see which one is defective.
