Hi guys.
I have 2 gtx 260 in SLI and the problem is everytime I turn on my PC the 2nd cards fan is running at full speed until the boot screen shows on.Then only 1 card returns to normal speed and device manager in Win7 (x64) doesn't show second card. I have this issue since I plug in second monitor (SLi worked fine for 2 weeks).
I tried both cards separately in first blue PCIe (btw my mobo is M4N82 and GPUs are Palit GTX 260-216SP). Both cards worked. But in 2nd blue PCIe, PC beeps one long and three times short beeps (no VGA detected).
I tried this:
-clean drivers in safe mode with driver sweeper->remove one GPU->install drivers->plug in second GPU
-after this I updated mobo BIOS with official update (piece of cake with asus tools)
-with/without SLi bridge
-swap cards
-swap power cords
but nothing...
I also noticed one (maybe useful) thing. Card in first PCIe is warm on touch, but card in 2nd PCIe is always cold (no matter what card is plugged in).
So, second PCIe just died or what?
Thank you for help or suggestions.
