Well, I was in the middle of playing WoW earlier today and my screen flickers to black, while my music is still playing in the background. After a while stuck where I could move my mouse but elicit no other response from my computer, I rebooted. After this, I tried booting in safe mode, which worked. I proceeded to update my nvidia drivers via DriverCleaner in Safe Mode and etc.
Well my computer boots back into normal mode fine, but when I enabled SLi with my new drivers, I experienced the same screen flickering on and off and locking up. Again, Windows would not load completely. So the next step I took is just removing my second video card and turning the SLi selector back to single.
My computer is now running, but only on one video card. Keep in mind that I have been running the same set up for over a year now. I have a suspicion that my mobo (ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe), is crapping out. I've had the mobo fan broke, SATA controllers become sketchy, among other things.
Now the question is, should I replace my mobo, or sell the cards and upgrade to a 7800/7900 and go single video card until my next big upgrade.
