It could also be voltage fluctuation from a failing psu or from bad power from the wall. |

That PSU just might be the problem. I've always heard 750 being the recommended watt for those gpu's and that cpu you have. So yea, 700 is cutting it close. I'm just going by a lot of the things I've read.
It is a nice psu though. If it turns out to be the problem you shouldn't have too much trouble reselling if you can't return it.

PWM - But not that one =( The PSU is new, but I have been told that its not enough, could this be my problem? Thanks |

True, for 8800GTX SLi, i recommend aroud 800. You can use the 850 Silverstone, or the 750 from PCP&C.

lol, you can't sell that here. you have to make a thread in teh for sale section which requires 35 rep. try ebay.

No, but it is a good "it should be about that" guide, and there are many sites hitting 500fsb easy, I struggle with anything past 309. No matter how much voltage ect, gonna keep going, I am either gonna get this to 3.66 or kill a qx6700 trying =D
