Specs are in my sig..

Issue started when I sold my 6850 & bought a pair of 5830's to CF.. Well with both cards in reboots are seriously coming on within 5 or so minutes. Have tried the cards 1 at a time & I am still getting the reboots, but not as often.. 30-35 minutes in between (and this is the same with both cards). I originally though I was just overdoing my PSU with the CF, but I know I am not with a single card.

Currently nothing is overclocked & temps never get out of control. I unfortunitly don't have any other parts compatible to take the place of anything else in the system so before I start randomly paying for replacement parts I am asking for recommendations on what I should try next.
 
With just one video card installed, try running Furmark or OCCT's GPU test. Do you have a Digital Multimeter by the way?

Also, if you haven't done so already, try running RAM and hard drive tests to cover all the bases.
 
GPU Test's are fine, No multimeter & I havent I will run HDD & RAM tests, but its fairly new ram (just a couple months) so that's probably clean there.
 
A lot of times, it will be ram related, or PSU related. Going from one card to a pair of others, and the frequency changing, id look towards PSU
