Computer Crashing...

My computer has been crashing (made 2 posts about this earlier). Its like the power cord has been pulled. Ihave had the power to the card coming through other things.More specificaly a bunch of 4 pin molex connectors connected togetherto a6 pin adapter then to the card. Like this:

: 4 pin molex ____________ 6 pin Adapter

I know I amartistic, actually pretty poor diagram.

AnywayI found two connectors stowed in the back marked PCI-E1 and PCI-E2. So what did I decide to do? Use those instead of my retarded previous setup. It hasn't crashed yet, but might this help. If I dont fix this I will go mad.

Thanks in advance.

So you were using a 4-pin molex to 6-pin PEG adapter, and now you're using the 6-pin connector that came with your power supply? That should certainly help matters out a fair bit.

What graphics card and power supply are you using?

The OCZ GameXStream and StealthXStream suffer from quite a bit of ripple under heavy load - even so, I dont think even SLI 8800GT cards honestly contitute a dangerous load for them, even considering the ripple problem.

Running molex-PEG adapters has been known to cause problems, so I think it's safe to say that your problems should be gone if you're using the proper connector.

Thank you for your help I am sure it will help. I will also note the other thing you said, thats a possibility. It also could be some other unimaginable problem. A new powersupply will most likely help if the problem persists. Once again thank you.Frag_grenade

I'd look to other components first - maybe something's overheating, or you could even have a connector slightly loose.
