See if clearing the CMOS works.

I Tried this.
updated the bios to last ver 2105 and loaded Optimal Default settings in bios also not working.
 
 
tried every card alone, working!!
when enabled the SLi and connect both cards together using SLI Bridge, here is the problem seen after reboot.

let me try and back to you soon

Let us know your progress on this problem.

*I run alot of support posts at the same time, it is-very- helpful if you "quote" my last post as this gives me a email notice and I can respond more quickly

 
Disabled all ASUS App, seems like its helping somehow, but the problem didnt fixed yet.
 
seems when i connect my Old LCD (LG 19") VGA with Converter DVI-VGA and my New HP(24") with Converter DVI-HDMI the problem comes out.
 
its like i cant Connect the LG to Port 2 and HP to Port 3 (DVI-D)
i tried HP alone to Port 3 also didnt work..
when i Connect the HP alone to Port 2(DVI-I) it works.
without SLi i was able to connect both LCDs (HP - Port3 and LG-Port2 as port1 is inactive)
 
any advice ?

and btw are you running the extra 12v power wire to your rampage 4?

Its not drivers matters. Because the safe mode also reboots
 
before i see safe mode screen it reboots
 
and even connecting the extra 12v cable or without to mb not helping

Please download & install bluescreenview and run it.

Guys, check this pic, is it important to connect all the 12v power cables to the mb ? as u can see i only connected the upper 6-pin/12v cable; there is another one 4-pin/12v beside it. and beside the Left Channel ram the are 6-pin and old 4 pins.
without these cable the PC working perfectly...

-read your manual-


You have x2 GTX 690's in Quad
Failure to properly connect the PCIEx power connector (for the extra power your videocards need) can cause serious damage to your 24pin connector, powersupply, and possibly your motherboard components and videocards!!!

If you really have failed to connect the PCIEx power connection (6pin connector) this is the cause of your issues.
You had better hope you have not damaged your 24pin connector

This is what happens to people who do not properly connect the extra PCIEx power connectors....


*you will need to CHECK your 24pin connector for damage, discoloration or melting.
Remove the 24pin and examine it with a flashlight

THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING YOUR ISSUES! properly connect the supplemental PCIEx power

Dear maniacvvv,
believe me I had this 6-pin not connect for my ATI4870x2 in Quad CrossFirex for 2 years.
I got These EVGA 690 cards 2 weeks ago; and connected only 1 of them and there was no issue @all for 1 week, but after connecting the 2nd card recently; I have all these strange issues , even connecting the 6-pin to the MB the issues exist .
 
I am now @ work, will leave after 30min.. i will check the 24-pin cable as you mentioned and connect that 6-pin Important cable to MB and let u the updates

Yeah i thought he had to have that extra 12 volts, but didn't know foresure, but if it was my Computer i would've done it.

The manual says connect the PCI-E connector if using 4 PCI-E x16 cards.  The OP's only using two, so he doesn't need to.

 
That is completely incorrect
 
The purpose of the extra power connection to the PCIEx slots is to provide a power bypass of the 24pin 12v loading.
 
(2) GTX 690's is 4 GPU cores and 8 gig of Vram
The above is -exactly- the voltage condition, that the extra power is FOR

That is stated  in the manual, OK?  I suggest you download it read it yourself before spreading fear.

Actually, according to the tech guy (Raja@ASUS) at the ROG forums, the extra connectors are not bypasses, they are in parallel, just like the extra 4-PIN ATX 12V.  The power plane is shared, you can connect all the extra power connectors but they won't draw extra power unless really needed.

 
This is quite easy for you to say, its not your $2000 worth of cards, your MB or your powersupply.
*And I am not "spreading fear"...  I have seen the damage done to users systems first hand on these forums.
 
We are talking about plugging in a extra power connection.
Failure to connect it when its needed can cause all kinds of stabilty and performance issues, not to mention it can burn up your 24pin, destroy your powersupply and sometimes can take your MB, CPU, RAM and videocards with it.
 
That is not a risk worth taking, or advising anyone else to take.
--->Just plug it in
What the OP describes, is exactly what happens when such a connection is not hooked up.
 
The REASON the extra connection is now included on modern motherboards, is they were BURNING UP 24pins without it.

Your comment "A 690 at stock only draws about 260W when running Furmark, BTW.  It's not that power hungry"
Shows you do not even know that running Furmark is now voltage/clock restricted on 500/600 series cards, both with hardware and in the Nvidia driver itself. Furmark is NOT a voltage or stress tester in any way, shape or form since these changes were made. *Like made well over two years ago

Are you kidding me right now? Are you that... I don't even have a word for you, stupid, ignorant, etc etc doesn't seem to fit. With 2 grand+, why the hell would you even tell him to take that risk? I have never, and will NEVER leave out extra power connectors, it can never do any harm, it can only make your system more stable.

Stating what is stated in the ASUS Rampage IV Extreme User Manual is stupid and ignorant?
 
I am not telling him to take risks.    All I'm implying it that the problem is not caused by not connecting the extra connector.   And the OP already confirmed that connecting or not connecting it the problem persists.

Perhaps a poor choice of words....

But you are missing the point. I personally have had users like the OP report the same issues, and then found their 24pin connectors melted or their powersupply putting out incorrect 12v (out of ATX spec) due to damage caused by failing to use the PCIE extra power connection.

Please feel free to run your own hardware however you see fit, but do not post here at the EVGA forums and imply other users do not need to use the extra PCIE power connection when running dual GTX 690's as that is incorrect information.

I dont really care what you have read or who told you what....
I know exactly what I am talking about and exactly what can happen if the extra connection is not used.
Thats why the connection IS THERE

 
Maybe you should link him to the guy you JUST HELPED that had the EXACT same issue? (Involving not having his 4 pin thingy plugged in).

Furmark is not a good stress tester but it still draws more power than any games and benchmarks out there, so it's still the best app to check for max power usage and temps.   Yes, 690 is dual cores, but it still only draws 75W from the PCI-E slot max just like a single core card.

The OP does not use crappy EVGA boards like those in your thread.  We are talking about a ROG board here, the best of the best, more resilient than anything else.  I use the same board myself.
 
And to answer the OP's questions about the extra connectors:
The extra ATX 4-PIN 12V is for crazy LN2 level OC or 24/7 @5.0+ Ghz; (stated by Raja)
The 4-pin mini floppy power connector is for when you're using all 8 DIMM slots;
The 6-pin PCI-E below the mini connector is for when using 4 cards in 4-way SLI. (stated in the manual)
