Guest deon10 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Guys whatsup ! I have been using Vista for a while on my Alienware M9700 and had issues with SLI but i thought that it was probably because of Vista itself... I reverted to XP SP3 and this stuff is killing me... When i enable SLI, and open an application which is in JAVA the screen starts blinking and blinking and it doesn't stop until i minimize the application... Secondly, when I play World In Conflict (only game ive tried so far) it plays well for a little bit then i get the blue screen of death... I dont know if its a memory problem or what, and i have used a couple drivers... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wook Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 can you state your video adapter and the driver you are using. Then i can start to help. Regards, Hamish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wook Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 by the sounds of things..you may have to look here and get drivers that are about a year old. http://support.alienware.com/Support_Pages...9&item=1005 according to dissucssions on here and else where, they are the only ones that work with SLi there is also a vista fix for SLi cards (SP1) http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/windows_vis...otfixes_uk.html are you overclocking? if so then crank it down a bit, as this (heat) is a major cause of bluescreens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reverted back to the 163.75 drivers which are said in many forums to be the most stable with SLi and still nothing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also set the sli mode in the nvidia game profile itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wook Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 and you tried those alienware official drivers too? apparently they work. sorry i can not any further advice on SLi as i don't use this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
