First off I been having problems for the last week or two with SLI mode on my computer. It just totally stopped working. I reformatted my computer a couple of times and nothing worked. But there is one thing bugging me Im getting SICK AND TIRED of warnings when I try to install a drivers this even happens while installing WINDOWS XP SP2. I get this one warning sayings This Device is not digitaly Signature or certified or something. I been getting these messages ALL THE TIME NOW. Whenever i enabled SLI mode computer will not restarted fully locks up at windows loading or right after. So finally they 77.72 drivers came out and I thought this might fix my problem but NO it only made it worse as far as I can see.
First of all this driver set is the first one for me since my SLI problem to actually work after installing them and computer rebooted and everything. But then again dureing this installation I got the MEssage this device Geforce 6800 GPU is not micosoft certified and may cause problems after installation or in the future. So I just installed them anyways because why in the hell aren't they certified???? I mean my computer is top of the line atm basically its not the best but all the stuff is good stuff.
First off I realized it did not reconigize my computer being able to go even into SLI mode at all. So I posted my problem on that and someone told me to go into device manager and look to see if the drivers went onto both the video cards. So I did this. To find out both the video cards have the 7.7.7.2 drivers isntalled on them. But the one graphics card in device manager has the (!) Sign right on it. This has scared me. When i hit propertys on that video card it says this device cannot start up for some reason. So I messed with drivers for a bit....And soon I lost all my picture on my monitor. First it started as when I restarted my computer I couldn't see anything until past the Windows Loading Screen and it hit the destop then video would come on. But I uninstalled the drivers for my videocards then and was going to reinstall them but I was getting nothing at all then. There was no picture no matter what. I did alot of stuff removed both cards replaced them in. Tried just one in there. Removed the bride I flipped over the SLI Mode Chip to Single GPU. And wouldn't work. So I left it alone for awhile came back and boom it worked it started up everything fine. So I put the chip back to SLI mode replaced the bridge and started back up. Ok everything fine so far except still no SLI being found and still the (!) is by the one graphics card.
WOOOAH ok so anyone please im really about rdy to break down here Im running out of patients with my computer that I thought was going to be awsome but seems getting the best of the best stuff is a pain in the A&&. Just all because of bad drivers.
