Skipping Frames and Crashing

[austen609]

I had my two gtx 780 ti's for about 3 months and they're skipping frames and crashing even when i'm not gaming, i tried to remove one to see if its just one graphics card that's broken but both of them seem to have the same problem. Should i RMA or is there a way to fix this problem?

Post full system specs, including motherboard and manufacturer. Make sure you drivers are up to date on both cards.

Make sure you post your PSU details as well. Could be a power issue

Are you using the proper PCIe power connectors for both cards, or are you using any kind of converter?

Are both cards on separate lines with no other deices attached?

There are no converters and the only line connected is sli

Are they two of the same card, or two different branded cards?

Are you running any software, like MSI after burner?

What monitor are you using? HDMI?

What is the "Crash" doing exactly?

First i get a bunch of lag, then my monitors lose signal, but my computer remains powered.

Are they in the correct PCIe slots on the motherboard? The manual should show which ones they need to be in for SLI.

If both cards are giving the same errors, even when not in SLI, it's not an issue with the cards, most likely not the PSU either.

I would uninstall the driver from safemode, remove one card and do a clean install from scratch.
