OK, first my specs:
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 rev. 1.0
AMD FX-4300 Quad Core
CORSAIR XMS3 16GB ( 2 x 8GB )
was SLI w/ 2x 9800 gtx's
generic power supply 500 or 550 watt don't remember
Until the one in slot 1 started artifacting while reading forums.(still artifactng in another comp(fried)). A month later my second card died, Screen went blank during War Thunder on medium graphics. Now monitor says no signal and shuts off. but computer beeps later after windows starts up. I am going to have to roll back to my 7800gt till I get cash to replace video card. I suspect my power supply, which was a cheap one bought a long time ago. I have been worried about having enough power, but it was stable for over 6 months running dual 9800gtx's 1BFG and 1 EVGA. Any other ideas? I don't want to keep putting cards in and killing them.
