I'm getting really annoyed with these multi GPU issues.

I just bought another GTX 580 and add it in SLI, and now experiencing problems with games. First, I'm getting black square artifacting in Bad Company 2 and then my entire computer locks up on me. Second, changing the graphic settings in the original Crysis will immediately crash on me.

Is there any workarounds for these issues?

check the 2nd card individually with like furmark

sounds like its borked

Clean install the latest beta drivers.

Make sure your sli bridge and both cards are full seated.

Those sound more like bad gpu/oc problems than SLI problems. What kind of clocks are you running?

I'm running it at stock clocks, nothing overclocked.

Is the SLI bridge right way up?

Have you tested the second card on its own?

Driver issue?

srs, try 2nd card on its own

The Gigabyte GTX 580 is factory overclocked at 795Mhz, will that be a contributing factor? I've already used driver sweeper to uninstall the drivers and reinstalled them but nothing worked, same result.
