What kind of power supply you got running the show? Honestly, I'd get an Enermax 550w EG651P-VE to handle two AXP's - since under load and w/ high-clocks they draw alot of watts (200W or more each). Factor in your other components, etc and you're demanding alot on a PSU unless it's a 500W or more high quality unit.
