The other night when I was playing, my pc crashed due to some blip somewhere. The crash wiped out my memory manager, my bootmgr, and a host of other things. I'm slowly bringing it up and reloading stuff again.

I've narrowed the crash down to two possibles--drawing too much power from the power supply (really, an 1100 watt pw) or a bad stick of ram (even worse, brand new ram).

Before I started bringing the pc back up, I disconnected the SLI/2nd video card and took out the slot 1 ram, moved 2 and 3 into #1 and 2 slots.

Once there were no problems with the re-format and re-load of the pc, I then connected and set the 2nd video card again.

Again, no problems (yet). So, I think bad ram stick in slot 1.............

Wow - that would be a really bad issue with RAM. Typically that type of error would be corrected and just flagged as a bad spot (or at least logged in the error message). Did you see anything in the event logs?

Nothing in the event logs that I could see.

That's why I would lean towards the power supply as well. Or heat?

I thought of that too, but couldn't find you to blame it on.
