hey all,

been running 8800GTs in sli for awhile now with no major issues. got this blue screen error yesterday, not sure exactly what caused it since i wasn't playing any games. rebooted and got weird graphics being displayed and a message saying nvidia drivers not compatible with current version of windows, or something to that effect. the display control panel says only 4-bit color is available and is limited to 800x600res. so i uninstall the nvidia drivers and reboot. everything looks normal with the basic vga drivers. so i go into safe mode, driversweep, and reinstall the drivers (177.83) and rebooted, and the nvidia drivers seem to work properly on the next reboot (it is set for only one 8800gt atm). but then when i reboot again after that, i get the same weird graphics from right after i got the bsod. i tried doing the same process multiple times, and it still reverts to the same problem with the nvidia drivers not loading properly on the second reboot after installing them again, and it happens everytime. not sure what's going on exactly or how to fix this. anyone with a similar experience that can provide some assistance? thanks in advance.
 
Either your memory is bad or your cards are.

Try narrowing down the problem by taking out 1 card and seeing if the problem still happens.

Then also try running with just 1 stick of ram. If it still happens with that stick, switch it for a different stick.

i'm pretty sure the hardware isn't the issue since i dual boot with vista, and everything is working fine with that at present. it's just xp that is having the issue ever since it crashed with this error, so i'm leaning towards it being driver related somehow, just not sure what's causing it. thanks for the advice, though. i will see if anybody else has a suggestion.
 
I had a problem similar to that: had two 7900's in sli. The vid memory went bad on one of the cards after instalation.
