{SOLVED} nVidia Gefore 8800 GT SLI often freezing / BSOD-ing

January 27th, 2020

Ive googled it before, Im googling it again… Lots of people have same problem… This card, or nVidia is failing epically lately… There is no way to fix this error
Ive used driver sweeper to completely wipe drivers out several times, Ive used both newest and old drivers… Same… Not working…
I have old drivers now since they seem to work the best… I never was able to turn SLI to work properly… The shop said there is nothing wrong with it after testing it… But still… When Im not gaming it freezes after either 5 or 30 minutes, its so random… Ive opened the pc today and ive took both cards and sli connector out and re-inserted it, but still, that didn’t help either… Kills the fun…
Im not even going to say anything about gaming… Currently I just have NBA 2k10 installed, maybe its causing the freezes? But still, I remember it did the same before… It freezes after few minutes… Pc is not responding at all…
Please help, this is getting really annoying, I cant do a thing anymore
EDIT: I played with the inside a bit and did not experience freezes yet (:
Seems that SLI connector was problem >.> Still, I did not play anything yet or run applications that require graphics dlls
Will update if anything changes

Answer #3
I google it and find out that yours two cards in sli need about 400w psu
Can you go to some friend of yours that has some better psu to test it ??

Not really, Ive found all lists of SLI cards power requirements
8800 GT SLI 79W-157W ^ (2x 512MB) Note that its GT, not GTS or GTX (:
Which means 500 should be enough
EDIT
But in the end, sli connector was conflicting, I turned it upside down and it worked great, no more freezes
EDIT
Just about to install 181 official ones
Will post how it worked
EDIT
Working fine now, managed to turn SLI and GPU acceleration on (:
