UPS Wattage: Battery Backed vs Surge Protected

If I have a hypothetical UPS that's running a system and peripherals, and the system is drawing say 500 Watts, and the UPS can run 600 Watts, and it's drawing from the Battery Backed Up plugs. Meanwhile there are periperhals/items on the surge protected plugs that are running say 200 Watts...

System Lockup when GPU hits full clockspeed

It is not custom, it was a Visiontek card, not modified at all initially when problems began. The thermal paste looked fine when I removed the stock cooler, but i cleaned it off and replaced it when putting on the water cooler. I'm not sure how images will help, however I can post some...

System Lockup when GPU hits full clockspeed

Didn't work as in it did not resolve the problem. With the adapter attached the card functioned as though the fan wasn't attached at all. With the fan wedged in there which won't work with the case closed, it works for a few minutes, and then fails the same way. Which seems even more unusual...

System Lockup when GPU hits full clockspeed

So an adapter didn't work to extend the fan out and let me run it; that said with the stock fan attached the system will run a game or benchmark for a minute or two, but then it does the same thing as before, locking up with a black screen on the main monitor and the system freezing. No voltage...

System Lockup when GPU hits full clockspeed

To give some more depth here, and some new information I was able to pull with another utility, the GPU with the old cooler was idle around 56 degrees and got far too hot during play. Artifacting started showing up, so I stopped using it until I got a new cooling solution so I wouldn't continue...

System Lockup when GPU hits full clockspeed

It's just a Kraken G10 with a Corsair H60 in it. Is it possible it's the VRMs overheating? My GPU doesn't seem to report the temperatures of those at all, and the board didn't appear to have a heatsink on them of it's own, just the fan above them, which is still there, but always on with main...

System Lockup when GPU hits full clockspeed

I don't have anything that detects those, the GPU has a core temp, never goes above 40, which makes me pretty confident of the cooler being seated properly. Motherboard also only shows temperature for the CPU core, not for any other bits, but the temperature of that doesn't get above 50 or so...

System Lockup when GPU hits full clockspeed

I don't remember the model of the power supply but it's a 700 watt supply Corsair I'm pretty sure. I wasn't having any power issues before the switch. It's an i5-2600k, Visiontek 3GB Radeon 280X, 16 GB DDR3, Gigabyte H61M-S2PV board, not sure what else might be helpful here. It's running a pair...

System Lockup when GPU hits full clockspeed

Hey, I've got a system that was working previously. I replaced the stock cooler, and the new cooler doesn't have the right fan power connector, so I have it connected to main power so it's just always on. The temperature on the GPU (R9 280X Visiontek) is very low, idling under 30 degrees, and...
