I really thought it was enough....

hey just wanted to check in. this sounds exactly like a problem that i tried multiple multiple things to fix. (multiple things and multiple threads started here)

I never figured it out UNTIL i got rid of this old wifi nic that I had in the system.

Thought I had a bad PS, thought it was RAM, thought it was the clocks, cpu settings, everything I went through with different results everytime.

I would think I fixed it and it would hiccup and stutter and bluescreen.

I got rid of the WiFi nic and I've had absolutely no problems since. Running a different WiFi adapter when I need to use WiFi.

The Wifi Nic being the culprit to my problem was literally the least likely thing in my mind. Turns out it was the problem. I never figured out WHY, just that it was.

Good luck figuring out!

Thanks for the suggestion...I'll try just about anything at this point.

Only issue here is I don't use wifi. I am going the wired route (always preferred it to wifi for gaming and such). And I have the onboard wifi (and bluetooth for that matter) disabled in the bios.

On a side note...upon reading your post....an RC car freaking out a keyboard. Now THATS a unique issue!

I know this thread is almost a month old, but did you ever figure out what was the culprit?

Well it's a bit late, but I think your problem is possibly RAM voltage. You might need to bump it up slightly a notch or two. Even though you have swapped sticks and didn't get any positive results, I think the RAM not getting enough juice. When RAM ages its sometimes needs a bump in voltage.

Can u retry your test with your side panel off?
Do you have a fan which u can prop next to your PC and have air blow at your gpus?

can u report load temps on both gpu when playing those games.

im suspecting the second gpu is heating up... being sandwitched between another gpu is not cooling it efficiently.

As odd as this sounds I had an issue with one of my builds where the motherboard bios had a compatibility issues with the Antec psu I was using. I would make sure that your bios is up to date on the off chance you're having a similar issue. It seems unlikely since you've tried two different PSUs, but if you haven't figured it out yet it won't hurt to do it.

As an aside, I am also a big fan of single rail power supplies. I have a Corsair HX1000 currently and I'm upgrading to a Corsair AX1200i with my next build. They have a great track record for reliability and I have had no issues whatsoever with my current psu that I've used in two builds so far.

I'd suggest not running the temp etc. monitoring programs.
