For the love of... WoW.

Another PC failure has stroke upon me, and I was wondering if anyone have any good ideas to fix it.
My PC runs SLI with 2x Nvidia 8800 GT cards, and now one of them, has to decided to not work, this one seems to be the "main" card, and until now I was able to just run on the other card, this only worked for a few days however. I can start the PC, but it seems that my motherboard uses the port from the GFX card, and I can open the hardware menu, and theres a little marker at one of the GFX card I open it and translated to english it says: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (Code 43)
The problem them occured during one of our nights on Mimiron hardmode, and the screen got all blurry, and before it went black windows came with a popup saying something about the cards driver shutting down, and some sort of number I didnt manage to write down, or remember.. I then started the PC over, and over again a couple of times before trying to use another port, which worked fine. I could start the PC before I tried that, but as soon as I tried launching WoW, It started with the same stripes, and blurry screen again.
I've used windows service to update the software, but that doesnt do anything - at all.
Been searching on the web abit aswell, but noone seems to be able to agree what a code 43 is. Also as I run on a Windows 7 beta, I am not sure if I can use the topics of people who have had the same problem on a Vista machine to anything?
Eitherway I hope someone has some genious ideas, so I dont have to get it repaired - again.
I should still be online, as my laptop works fine.
