    dose it change to differnt colors, like red? blue? ect
    if thats the case, keep hitting FN f7
    until you get a little pop up that says something about something something 8 )
    then restart and it should be ok

    might be a bad or improperly seated secondary card that will do it.

    You will also need to make sure you have the latest BIOS, and the latest drivers cant hurt either, as well as service packs. Personally I would update all drivers, then uninstall the nvidia drivers, use driver cleaner, then reinstall the OFFICIAL nvidia drivers for the 7950s (from their support site). If that fails then you are looking at a new windows install or possibly a new daughter card, but try the driver method first. SLI can be tricky and it doesn't always work on mine either.

    Here we go again:
    Daughter = Master/Primary Card
    Parent = Secondary/Slave Card
