Hi! This is my first post :) Posting this from the french part of Canada, were's the poutine is good en tabarnac! :D

So here's my problem; I have my 2 cards since 4-5 weeks, but used a SLI V2 bridge (2/3w). No problem, everything was flawless.
 
3 days ago I brought a HB bridge, Directly after first boot I ran into problems; SLI+surround was disabled, and some of my monitors failed to be detected (or the were grayed out). Multiple reboots later, DDU, driver install, disconnecting my 4th monitor, ect, nothing seems to work. At some point I managed to set the surround correctly, but I add to keep my 4th monitor disconnected. Upon reboot, all 3 monitors were off...
I disconnected all my monitors, booted with only one, then connected them one by one. Now I have my SLI+surround+4th working, but I fear that I will loose them again after reboot.
 
The whole process took me over 45 minutes! :( Did I'm the only one in this situation? Any tips?

    Dear NoDataQC,
     
    Welcome to the Forums!
     
    I have not heard of this behavior, but it does sound like a driver glitch or configuration issue.  I recommend that if you reboot and have another similar problem then you try to process a clean install on the drivers by downloading the latest version from http://www.evga.com/support/drivers and then using the customer install and clean install options during the setup.
     
    Please let us know if you should need further support?

    Now I have my SLI+surround+4th working, but I fear that I will loose them again after reboot.

    Everything good after reboot?

    I just hit my kb and woke up my pc from sleep, it's all good. :D

    All my screen are connected to the first card. I will update this thread soon as I find anything. BF1 is downloading, and I will install the 375 series drivers...

    Hi,
    Check the official nvidia forums. There is a thread where people had the same issues. In short: when using hb Bridge you need to hook up all surround monitors to one card but the the hb bridge performs same as the single ribbon bridge. If you use hb bridge and spread your monitors across your gpus you might get the full benefits of the hb bridge but it comes with issues. But thanks to people on nvidia forums who escalated the issue to nvidia they are now working on finding the cause for this so in the future it will be hopefully fixed in some upcoming drivers.
