**UPDATE** SLI enables freezes computer. (Had to put my video card in the oven, problem fixed)

[Rferguson]

Hello everyone!
I'm having trouble running the SLI bridge on my two 8800 GTS video cards. The computer will freeze while gaming (War Thunder) and I end up having to do a hard reset. I disabled SLI, and checked my video cards. One was running at 104F the other at 149F, all fans are at maxed speed. I took out the "hot" card. Can my computer not handle SLI? is a video card dying? I am not too sure why this is going on. Here is a list of my computer specifications. (keep in mind I was running two 8800 GTS video cards)

I had to do the same thing with my 8800GT. Don't expect it to last much longer though.
