OK if you are getting that type of the problem than at that time i am sure that yyou are using the SLI bridge, am i right? and here since you are saying that you are getting this problem only wiht the Sli then i think that there must be some problem related with the SLi slot of your board. i think that for resolving this type of the problem you will need to try with contactign with the MSI to get the support in this.

hey dude, if you are getting that type of the problem then for resolving that try with the new bios, older drivers, clearing the cmos, reinstalling windows. try with this all and i am sure that after doingt his all, you will not get the same problem again.

[Adeen20]

yes, i tried with the

• new bios
• older drivers,
• clearing the cmos,
• reinstalling windows,

but still after that all i am getting that this is not working for me. and also for making sure about this problem i tried with the two 6870's in crossfire from a friend and at that time i get that this is working very fine with this. has anyone else also having the same problem with this type of the board??? if yes then please reply me back for this, and any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

I am having the same exact problem. I have searched forum after forum all day with no help. A lot of people having the same issues. I have tried the latest drivers and the latest beta driver for BF3. When I click apply to enable SLI screen blacks out temporarily and comes back at 800x600 res and I have to reinstall drivers to go back to normal.
