as you may or may not have read, I recently reconfigured my gamer. Everything was wonderful until a couple days ago (about the same day I put a new SSD in but I believe that is coincendence).

Whenever it starts now, whether at stock clocks or OCd, it false starts twice (dying at error code FF), then starts the third attempt at the correct settings ??

It was running consistently in the 30s at idle and in the 60s while gaming, with both cards staying around 60C max under load.

Then, all of a sudden, (about the time I started playing Crysis 3) I started getting strange system deaths, where the screen just went black and the system rebooted. Found out at least one of these was a CPU overtemp problem, so I did some temp testing and found my temps were running 20 to 30C hotter, with the main increase in heat seaming coming from the (water cooled) chipset

Got things under control, and had the CPU maxing out around 70 and the cards around 62 while both Prime AND Furmark were running. Went back to gaming and the system died.

Checked the PSU and found the five volt and 3.3 volt lines were weak, so I did a PSUdectomy. Temps are nice and cool again at idle but I still have the triple start?????

Going to test more tomorrow but wondering if any of you that bothered to read this far had any idea of what the issue might be?

added 15 minutes later

GPU 2 is running almost 20C warmer than GPU1 after 10 minutes of Crysis. both always ran with a couple degrees of each other so I'm thinking maybe AB is effed or something.. then again, gpu could have an issue wo is me

edit 2: 20 minutes later: GPU removed from system, gamed longer but still ended up with the black death. Not the RAM, I've tested that, chipset seems okay tempwise... starting to think CPU?

Raptor back in to see if it's the SSD :p

EDIT 3: Idling now for 5 minutes, CPU cores in the mid 50s :ohshit: GPU 40C - oops right after I typed that it dropped to mid 30s
