It all started when i installed the second card. Its a Gigabyte GTX 580 1,5gbram, and the one i had in already is a EVGA GTX580 SuperClocked, also 1,5 gbram. They are suppose to be the same.
I had alot of problems with the monitor not wanting to turn on, so after switching the cards around about 5 times, it suddendly works. The EVGA card is on top, windows recognize that i am running SLI. Suddendly i get audio problems. I hear weird static comming from the speakers, i have no idea where that comes from. It starts basically a few seconds after i turn on the computer, so its before it even enters windows. I also get a red flashing light at my RAM for a few secs, then a flashing red light at the PCI-E ports, and then one further down i dont know what is for.
The weird static persists, even after i pulled the other card out, so i am only running 1. Suddendly my computers bios also reset, so it showed that the year was 2002, and windows could not update because of it. What could be causing this?
I have not hooked up SLi before. I have a 1000w powersupply, so i know it can handle but, but the wires going out of my PSU, some are threaded with some fabric and says PCI-E. Are those the ones i am supposed to use for the cards? I did that, and it changed nothing.
I know this post might seem like i am rambling, but im having so many problems with my computer that i dont even know how to explain them. I am extremly frustrated, and have just reinstalled windows. The clock was still 2002, but i sorted that out. The static persist tho.
