Maximus V Extreme and my 9800 GTX (x2) cards

I just bought a new mobo, 16 GB ram and i7 CPU but kept my 9800 GTX cards that I had SLI in my old board. Runs fine (not SLI obviously) on generic VGA driver but when I installed the latest driver and the ver 295 driver (read that might be the best driver for an older card) I get the BIOS screen, then the first Windows 7 screen then the power save message comes on my monitor but I see the HD still running etc. I can get it back by restoring to before the driver installation. Any thoughts on what is happening?

Thanks!

Sometimes Windows can be a tit and pick the wrong output by default. You can try hitting Win+P 2-3 times and see if you get image on your screen then. Or you can try your monitor on the diff outputs on your cards. It's also worth trying to install the latest release driver directly from geforce.com and make sure you tick the clean installation box, even if it's installing over the default driver.

Welcome to the ROG forums, blade7658.

Sounds like a driver issue since everything was working before you installed the NVIDIA drivers. Have you tried installing only the display driver instead of installing the whole package?

I will try the Win+P (hadn't thought of that) but I did try different card outputs, and the rest. Thanks!

Thanks Chino - I did turn off the 3d, but not the others. Will try that.

Thanks to both of you!

Tried display only and win+p - no joy.

Looks like I am headed towards a new card. I was never super convinced my SLI cards made a huge difference, but not sure. Thoughts on what card I should go to with this mobo/cpu? Money is not a huge issue, but I don't need to spend top dollar to get the very latest. I would be good with a really solid graphics card (or two?). I liked the idea of the 690 but welcome ideas.

The key issue here is how did you do your OS install? Is it the same OS as you had before or a new OS.

Which bios are you running, what AHCI mode are you using for your OS?


Not all cards are EUFI compatible.

Latest MOBO bios (went to manufacturer's website for that) and I am using the same HDs I was before, so no change to my softward (Windows 7 - up to date).

Yip as I suspected. I suggest that you consider doing a full clean OS install. What board have you migrated from?
