Reseat your graphics cards and the sli bridge. If that doesn't help, I am guessing either one of your cards is defective.

EDIT: And make sure your monitor has no loose connections.

I did that and still the same problem:( Those video cards are NEW! that comes in a box. I guess I will have to get the 8800GT SSC or should I replaced those 2 and sell it to someone?
 
Did you POST your system out of the case????

You may have a short from the MB to the case????

Is this a new setup or has it run perfectly before Nov4??? If it started out of the blue, you have insufficient power to the GPUs or a bad master card........
If it been good before, try placing 1 card at a time in the master slot and see if its a bad card.

If you just bought them and this is the first time you turned them on......check the driver version, make sure both cards have drivers installed by checking device manager.
If new, did you enable SLI in the BIOS???? Does the SLI capable bubble come up on the desktop??? Did you enable SLI in the control panel???

No I didn't post my system out of the case, I have a Coolermaster Cosmos Case. My motherboard is working fine, All those parts was shipped yesterday Nov 3rd and I haven't set up anything yet until today that is what happen. The First COMS message I get was the 7A [I read in the book it didn't say anything] and heard a long Beep sound so obviously it could be a [the DDR2 memory I use from my ASUS Striker motherboard called AONE 512MB DDR2] memory so I use the new 2x Samsung memory. That what happen everything seem to work fine so I tired put 1 7950GT and it still the same thing, the other 7950GT same thing too and I try SLI same thing. I put them in my ASUS, I see the same thing :( so obviously the video card is no good? or could it be that my Antec 550w not enough? I am lost [yeah I am a noob and u can tell that I am]

Edit: About trying to enable SLI... when I enter the Windows Logon screen, it become worse... I can't see anything at all [I can only see a mouse pointer that all]

I don't think it is you graphics cards.

Have you got another motherboard to try?

Run Memtest to rule out the RAM.
 
Judging by the display, thats faulty ram on a graphics card.
Either that or there is a power problem.

How can I run memtest? Thru windows XP?​

Download the iso and burn to disc. Boot to disc. Let it run a few hours. If you start getting errors, then your memory is bad.

By the looks of your screen shots, looks like vid card is toast.

By the way, posting center aligned is just a bit annoying.

then why did it say on the box that it support SLI?:mad:​

It might well support SLI 8800GT when working properly (your PSU might be faulty).
Or SLI might mean it works with 2x 8600 cards or similar.

Try another PSU and see if it helps.

Did you plug the power into the video cards? Stupid question, but you never know.

Read some [H] reviews on PSU's if you want to know a good one to purchase.
Thats not what I said though, you should try another PSU to see if that does help before splashing out.
Beg or borrow one from a friend.

See if he wants to try out SLI 8800GTs for a few hours :D
That way you will know if the cards are ok (assuming he has a good enough PSU and an SLI mobo)
If he doesnt have SLI, ask him to try both cards independantly.

Let me get this straight. You're using 2x 7950GT cards in SLI for a 19" monitor and hope an Antec 550W will be enough?!?!?

First of all, you don't need SLI with a 19" monitor -- its basically useless. You don't get much performance boost at all, especially for the money.

Second, get a better PSU or get a single 8800GT instead.
