I have tried everything you can think of,even a reinstall but I always get the same with these.They even shut my pc down on the options scren before I even start playing Here is a picture of what I get.Anyone seen this before and fixed it.If anyone is a member of any othergame or PC forums please try them for me too. Thanks  (sorry about the flash)

Just guessing, but I bet it has to do with the video card.
I realize that is not much help, but that's where I would start concentrating.
Video card getting enough power?
PSU high enough capacity and/or reliable brand?
Not overheating?
Not overclocked?
Try an older driver?
Try a different video card?
Change video card settings? Maybe try lowering all settings to see if it will work. Then adjust from there if it did work.
That's the first things that come to my mind.

Are these the only games that are taking advantage of the two cards?
It's possible that one card is having issues.
This is debatable and probably not the issue, but I always make sure my cards have matching bios when I use SLI.
If they don’t, then I always flash them to the same one.
If I do need to update one of them, I always check for the newest bios version and make them both the newest.

Are these games using the most ram?
If so, you could run a test on your ram to make sure you don't have some bad areas.

I bought the cards as a matching pair they ran fine on my old motherboard and XP,they are nearly a year old.I do have a pair of 7800gt I can pop one in after getting the driver for it.

I would imagine that the cards having 512Mb of ram each they would be using that.

Excellent!
Now try swapping the two cards and see if it is still okay.
If not, it may be a bad card.
If so, then it may be driver, power, or SLI settings.

Don't quote me, but I believe SLI uses only the ram on the first card.
The processor is used on both cards.
Also the games will still use the MB ram and vid ram no matter how much is on the vid card.
