GTX 670's SLI constant freezing.

[Latevladiator]

So I have an issue where in ANY game, even freaking minecraft for petes sake, will freeze randomly. It's just the screen, I can still hear sounds, move around, etc, and If I'm in fullscreen, must restart the pc, If I'm in windowed, I can tab out. Here are my specs:
Windows 10 Home
intel i5-8400
12GB DDR4 RAM
2x GTX 670
My motherbord: https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard ... -rev-10#kf

hese cards are a recent hand me down (had been used for about 3-4 years) from my brother. He said he had them overclocked, so I've tried setting them back to the base clock. I've also tried running DDU in safe mode, as wellas reinstalling the drivers in safe mode. I'm at my wits end with this! I didn't want to buy these cards and a brand new rig, only to crash all the time! If it helps at all, when I play overwatch and it does it, it will give me the message "Rendering device has been lost" These errors occur both with SLI enabled, and disabled.

Try to test each card independently to find if one is the culprit.
Also what is your Powers supply?
Check if you have any DMP files in C:\Windows\LiveKernelReports (and it's subfolders)
In the nvidia control panel, click help and then debug mode. (restart and try again)

Here are some steps you can try:

Check the temperatures of the graphics cards using a monitoring software, such as MSI Afterburner. Overheating can cause freezes and crashes.

Make sure your power supply unit (PSU) is adequate for the graphics cards. Your system may require more power than your PSU can deliver, causing instability.

Uninstall the graphics drivers using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in safe mode, and then reinstall the latest version of the drivers from the manufacturer's website.

Disable SLI and see if the issue persists. SLI can cause compatibility issues with some games and may require tweaking of the settings.
