So I just bought another 7950Gx2 as a stop gap before upgrading to dx10. Anyway, the problem is 3D mark 06, and the geoforms screensaver keep crashing and I dont know why. I have the latest drivers, everything is hooked up and recognised correctly. There are a few things I can think of:

-Its a powersupply problem
-The card bios versions are different
-They are overheating?

Anyone know of a solution?

Edit: AT the time my PC crashed the two main cores read 94 and 97 degrees C. This could be a problem? Will have to find a way to cool the cards better if need be.

Second edit: I also think hybrid overclocking was enabled...would explain the high temperatures. Usually my single care peaks at 77C, so even with a second you wouldnt expect nearly 100C!
 
Cant remember exactly, but I remember it was between 600-700W. On the low end I know, but surely if it was a power supply problem the PC would simply shut down and not randomly crash?

Plus I only have 1 HDD and an AMD 4000, so there isnt anything else really taxing the power supply.
 
I get the feeling there may be a problem with my newest card to. 3D mark 06 has a weird reflection problem in HDR environments. Getting Need for speed soon, so hopefully it'll work in that ok. Otherwise will try and add a pci slot fan and some others somewhere. ALso think my front fan feeding the two cards is blocked.
