Thanks for your reply in answer to your question, I should hope so, OCZ
GamerXStream 700W. Rated 18A in the PCIe channels. Bought it with the
card, previous PS only had one six pin PCI jack. Also I've come to the
conclusion this is a driver issue as I don't have this problem with version
158.45, but I don't know if this driver supports SLI in DX10, not that it
really matters as 6 months after Vista release and there's only one game
(Company of Heroes) that has been ported to DX10. I would of thought that
MicroScam would of done that with Flight Simulator X. Also the problem
doesn't happen just in games.

Hmmm then it does sound like a driver issue... pity! Well, I'm still wih XP
x64 and a single 8800GTS so I cant claim any hands-on experience to help you
further, good luck!

Using the 8500 getting the same problem with 2 cards SLI. Have removed the
second card and now do not get the black screen. (See my post of the 6
August).

I loaded these up this morning and they seem to be working fine, used the
software I was having a problem with. I still only get a "good" rating in
Company of Heroes in DX10, I was getting a great rating in DX9 in single
GPU.

163.11 isn't the answer to the problem either, the crashing started up again
right after I posted that all was well below.
