Need urgent help, stat.

So I cleaned my system, GPUs, CPU, everything, it all booted up without issue. Yay, that rarely happens.

But, it randomly freezes on my Desktop. Every 15, maybe 20 seconds everything freezes, really randomly now that I've counted for a few minutes.

Like, my mouse can't move, stuff stops moving. Now I'm going to pull it apart again and see what I did wrong, but I just wanted to post here incase I can't figure it out and will come back to some answers.

Temps on the GPUs have dropped quite abit though...I mean, we're talking 7-8c each here, which actually seems to much, because usually cleaning does not give THAT kinda drop.(in my experience)

The weird part is, it all worked fine when I tried htme in different PCI-E slots, however those did not work correctly for SLI, so I moved them back to their original spots, I can't think what would be the problem.

The Device manager says both GPUs are working fine. So I am quite at a loss.

Nah, I found what it was.

It was the stupid limit on the Dual-link DVI cable, when I switched GPus out and in again, it reset the limit, causing this issue. All I had to do was remove thel imits again and it went away. Of course, as expected,, temps are up again though. Oh well, nothing I can dao about that...it's summer, it's hot, and my GPUs are so close they kiss, damn Mobo.

But thanks. Sorry for the waste of time, it's 5 AM and I've been fucking with this too long.
