Hi guys, before I contact MSI support I thought I'd run this one past you in case It was something silly. Dealing with their RMA team was a slow pain.
I have had nothing but problems with these MSI 780's. The first card I bought had a problem with the fans making a grinding noise 11-12 months after purchase and the second card that I bought stopped working all together, again, just before the warranty ran out (lucky). The first card was replaced and everything was OK, the second card was replaced and all was well for almost a month until it stopped working again. After receiving yet another replacement all has been well for the last 7 months until recently where I am unable to run games with SLI enabled. The nvidia driver just crashes.
I have done no flashing and no overclocking. These cards have been ran completely stock.
I have done a complete fresh install of Windows and also tried different nvidia drivers, but everything I've tried has yielded the same results.
If I disable SLI my games run fine. If I enable SLI and run in fullscreen windowed, I get poor FPS and stuttering. Fullscreen with SLI causes the driver to crash and my PC to lock up.
Does anybody have any ideas? I appreciate any input.
Cheers,
Chris
