I just got a second GTX 680 for my computer, and while I just got 2 BSODs within an hour playing Assassin's Creed 4. Well, the screen goes black and it makes a noise like a BSOD. So I don't know error numbers or anything. I DO overclock and on seldom occasion do get random BSODs, but usually isolated incidences. 2 within an hour seems odd. I don't think it's this card because I ran it on its own for a couple hours playing AC4 after benchmarking it with Unigine Valley. It held strong for that time. When I added my first card back to the equation and started using SLI is when it started happening. Attached is the SF diagnostic tool zip file

Hello there!

Firstly would you be able to tell me if your using the correct drivers?
If you are unsure, have you updated them. Drivers | GeForce

Second, do you have a Power supply that can cope with the two cards, are their dedicated PCI-E cables for two sets of GPU?
As much as I can tell, the cards need 200mw each (Standard power consumption). Plus the fact that you appear to be overclocking, and you might be exerting a larger power draw then the PSU can supply.

I will have a think about some other causes for you.

Newest drivers installed, 1000w PSU, dedicated PCI-E power cables on them all
