BSOD playing SWTOR after upgrading to SLI
Greetings,
Last night I installed a second Gigabyte GV-N460OC-1GI (Nvidia GTX 460) in SLI. The following is a sequence of events leading up to the BSOD, which may shed some light on the issue.
- Immediately after booting the PC, I received a "Chassis intruded, Fatal error, System halted" error. I rebooted and everything was fine.
- I installed the latest Nvidia display drivers (285.62) and enabled SLI.
- Launched SWTOR (Star Wars: The Old Republic), and after about 5 minutes, I hear a brief buzzing sound, screen turns black, and the mouse and keyboard power off. The PC reboots itself and informs me that windows was improperly shut down.
- I proceeded to start Windows (normal mode), log back into SWTOR, and the same thing happens again - BSOD after about 5 minutes. Changing the graphics setting from High to Low didn't help.
- I pulled out the second video card, tried SWTOR, and the problem was no more.
So before I return the second gfx card, I'm hoping to confirm that it is in fact a hardware issue with the card, and not the new Nvidia drivers.
Attached is the zip file with BSOD dump and performance.html (all made while in SLI).
Here are my Windows 7 details:
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM (installed myself)
Age of system/hardware: 1.5 years.
Age of OS installation: 1.5 years. (have not re-installed OS)
