Hi rvcjew,
I was just going to log into safe mode and then uninstall the drivers from control panel. Reboot then reinstall. And yes i am using SLI on my 560ti cards

There are better ways to clean out after that but try this.
1. Uninstall via control panel.
2. Put one card in only and install.
3. Reboot, if all is good shutdown and install second card without sli bridge and boot.
4. Reinstall (without removing) drivers again and reboot.
5. If all is good shutdown put on bridge and boot and enable sli in nvidia control panel.
Hi Rvcjew,
I just followed your instructions and this has seemed to help. Everything seems to be fine now. Except I got an error saying "nvidia driver has stopped working but was successfully recovered"
It only seem to do it the one time, it now I think everything seems normal, so far!
Just wanted to say thanks
UPDATE: just noticed after another reboot windows now hangs on the "preparing desktop screen" and getting the odd pc freeze. I removed the 2nd card, which seemed to be causing the problem. Im thinking a dead card possibly ? whats your thoughts ?

The other slot did not work. It worked for a longer while (30 minutes maybe) but same thing happened eventually. When I clean the old drivers I Uninstall, restart, remove all leftover files on the PC (Program files, Program files (x86), Local, Roaming, and then the regedit (All NVIDIA directories I could after a google search). I then also used Guru3d Driver Uninstaller.
This is so annoying, could it be the card?
Edit: The card was out of the computer for two hours before I attempted with the other slot. Could it be overheating?
Edit2: I just tried a GTX 760. It worked without a problem...

Yeah was gonna say seems you have a dead card on your hand or a dying one. It could be from the ram going bad and if you got nothing to lose and are brave give the baking thing a shot. How to: bake your GPU's. - EVGA Forums and if it is cause your cold solder on your ram is dying than yes this will fix it. I have done it successfully before but your card shows signs of a prob non ram issue and its just time to start over, that being said what do you have to lose unless you can RMA it of course.
Remove the second card look for any dust build up in your pci-e slot, then if there is none try your first card in that slot as the only card in (it can be in any pci-e slot and if it slows down it's negligible at desktop anyways) if it works with the first card in the second slot only then your card could be bad, if it does not work then your slot is going or is bad. If it works then try the second card in the first slot only to rule out card vs slot. Check your SLI bridge for damage as well (poke marks or scratches on the inside.
