my bet would be a faulty SLI cable (especially when its homemade-when I tried to make it myself,I have busted two floppy cables before I finally got it right.you should test all the wires for contact-small battery,couple of wires and a small bulb can do the job nicely)..you can try other pci slots,but I doubt it will help.

SK: ja tipujem zly SLI kabel (obzvlast ak je zbastleny-ked som to skusal zbastlit ja,znicil som dva floppy kable kym sa mi to konecne podarilo.mal by si skusit ci je vsade kontakt-tuzkova baterka,par drotov a mala ziarovka by mali stacit )..pripadne skus ine pci sloty,ale pochybujem ze to pomoze.

edit: this should help a little:

prikladam schemu prepojenia pinov ak budete testovat ci je kabel priechodny (tie prazdne su tak isto ako tie na krajoch):
[I'm adding a pin connection scheme (the "empty" pins are connected the same way as those on the left side),remember,if the pins arent connected properly the SLI cable wont work.checking all the connections with few wires,batteries and a small bulb is recommended.]

Last year I experemented with this problem and have got a result http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9175816 I think it is very good result, but SLi in this case doen't work.
