Rig setup PSU Issue?

Does anyone think that the motherboard could be frying the video card? It just doesn't make sense to me that three weeks after an RMA the replacement is tanked. I mean, I'm really good about waiting to power down and I never leave my computer on when its not in use for an extended period of time.

dual 7950 versus 8800

Thanks for the info guys. I currently run a 700W OCZ PSU, but I've been thinking more and more about moving back to my Athena 500W PSU since I haven't been able to find another 6800 for the SLI setup. Resolution: 1280x1024

dual 7950 versus 8800

Rig setup PSU Issue?

I took the video card to a local computer shop and they hooked it up to their gaming test rig and it didn't power on either. Looks like its time for another RMA.

Rig setup PSU Issue?

Alright, so I RMA'd my video card with BFG and they sent me a brand spanking new 6800 GT OC which was working ok until about two weeks ago. Also, I upgraded my PSU to a 700w OCZ with dual 12v rails. Now, whenever I power on the computer, the red light (indicating that the card is getting...
