Let me know if it worked for you as it did for me

I also have been having this problem on my GTX 285... during high intensity games like FO3 COD4 FC2 etc etc... or 3-boxing on WoW w/ 2 monitors I will occasionally get red lights, freeze and a crash causing me to hard-restart the system. Originally I thought it was heat building up and eventually causing a crash, but after several temp apps proving my heat never got above around 75c.. and sometimes crashed (and red-lighted) at much lower temps I realized it wasn't the heat.

I have had this problem pretty much right away from building my system... its odd because it doesn't stop me from gaming... and usually only happens in intense situations but not always. Sometimes I will go 2-3 hours, and sometimes only 10-20 minutes before a crash.

One thing about your post intrigues me though... I also have 10k RPM drives. I don't think these drives take up tons of power nessecarily but maybe in raid they can cause a energy drain spike when they spin up affecting the g-card enough to cause a crash? I dunno but I cannot find a solution to this either..

I have tried overclocking both g-card and mobo, changing speeds and power just to shake things up.. everything worked fine on the OC side but no luck with the occasional red-light crashes.

It could be the PSU.. but after reading on another forum someone with the same problem tried different PSUs and Mobos with no luck. Unfortunately for him even a new g-card didnt help, leading him to believe it was the combo of his card (gtx 295) and mobo (xfx 780i). I don't think applies to us, and I hope its not a compatibility problem with certain mobos and the gtx 285/295...

Also I've tried switching things up like putting in-out the pci fan, or running just one monitor. I also updated drivers for all hardware and even tried old drivers for the 285.

Any help, suggestions beyond something I've tried or a gun to shoot XFX with would be appreciated!

These cards are insanely expensive and should not be having problems like this.
