Are you sure the 12v ramp is giving the same or more amperage that your old 750Watt was?

+1 to that. Could you list the name and specs of your power supply? A 4870x2 isn't something I'd run on a generic power supply.

Most of the time, +1 just means people agree with you, not that they're going to give you a thumbs up.

Anyways, Dell PSUs aren't too bad. Even if it is a mediocre PSU, a 1000watt should have no trouble running a 4870x2. Try plugging it in to your old rig with the old PSU + HDD & drivers to see what happens.
