"No devices detected" periodically.. bad bridge?

[Drewis]

Hey all.

I recently started having an issue where sometimes upon bootup both of my video cards (GTX460) would not be detected and it would default to the plain old 640/480 rez.

I know my SLI connector was loose giving me issues in SWTOR but other then that there havent been any other problems with my setup, its lightning quick @1080p.

Everything is 100000% stable when theyre detected, I highly doubt its my PSU.

I have tried:

Upgrading/downgrading bios
" " drivers
different slots
everything is tight

I guess my question is this: Would a loose SLI connector come up as BOTH cards not being able to be detected or is there something else going on here?

thnx in advance.

For anyone interested the answer is yes, it can.
