    Is SLi turned back on? Start there, then possibly try nVidia's Mobile Solution, it's even newer than the driver you have there and your cards are fully supported.

    nvidia.com -> download drivers -> notebook drivers -> select OS.

    Make sure you get rid of your old drivers first, don't just double click the installer over the old ones, and turn SLi back on manually when you install the new ones.

    According to your CPU test...I'd think you are in power saving mode...
