Hi there,

Have a Jeantech 1000w psu and 2 x 8800 GTX. The connection on the back are:

Which sockets should I have the gtx's connected to?

Crysis and some 3d apps crash after about 1hr of play. Could this be a psu issue?

Thanks

hi

You should have the 4 green pci-express connectors, connected to your video cards.

Hard to say about the crashes. You have a psu that supports two video cards.

What kind of crash do you meen?

Does it reboot by itself ? does your machine just freeze?What operating system are you using?What is it doing?
What are your machine specs?

regards
Laserman

ASUS P5N-T Deluxe
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition 2.40GHz (1066FSB)
OCZ 4 GB RAM PC2-8000C5 1000MHz ReaperX
2 X 8800 GTX
1000W PSU
Raptor X 150 GB
Windows XP Pro 32-Bit

It hangs in Crysis, image freezes, sound stutters for few secs more then loops a sound until manual reboot. Ntune Stability test used to run but now the image comes up but the characters don't move, If I press stop it does so, if I drag the animation window it crashes to BSOD with nv4_disp.dll error.

Thanks
