Right, so about a week ago I installed a 2nd HD 6870 and ever since then whenever i play battlefield 3 or another demanding game my computer just shuts down for no apparent reason... I thought it was an overheating problem so i instaled another fan and the GPU's run around 50 - 70 c when gaming and i just can't figure it out :'( any advice will be much appriciated :)
Specs off the top of my head
GPU I5 2500k default clock speed
An asus HD6870 and an XFX HD6870 running in crossfir
Antec One
750w PSU
First time on the forum so don't shout if i did something wrong!
The things that instantly come to mind are that the actual communication of those two cards may be incompatible for an unusual reason (Regarding software I suppose) or They pull too many amps on the PSU at load. What exact model is the PSU? TX? AX? etc...
Have a look on google images and see what it looks like then post it? If you can get a hold of another quality power supply and see if that works for you at load, then it might be the Crossfire or the cards...
