here is my situation.

i've got to play a little with 2x6800GT in SLI
now i wanted to enable it but i forgot the bridges.
so at windows SLI was enabled and i rebooted and switched the sli bridges.

now EVERY time i come in windows i get reboots all the time.

i tought maybe i've got to disable sli and then reboot, then enable it and good to go.
so i booted with sli disabled(with jumpers) and disabled it in windows.
now i enabled sli(jumpers) i pass the loading screen and then nothing happens, waited a few minutes=> nothing happend.

can someone help me to enable SLI so i can bench a little and work on some new gfx containers :D

greetz,
Jort

Might be an idea to list your full system - It might jog someones memory. I've worked through a few SLI problems, but don't know if they're relevant to your problem. What manufacturer for the 6800GTs? Are they recent?

edit; now i uninstalled drivers and put sli on(jumpers) and in windows.
installed drivers etc.
but when i run 3dmark, it stays 28 fps at the beginning.

i enabled sli option at the advanced menu
and disabled all "AA and AF options
