Often when i am playing crysis and Rise of Legends, the two most demanding games i have atm, my system often either hard locks, or BSODs during the most intensive parts e.g. in crysis when i am shooting someone in a MP match with a minigun. This is very annoying since i have to reboot my PC.

My PSU is an arctic power 700W unit with 44A of power on the 12v Rail, which seems a little below spec to handle to GTS 320mb cards, as well as a slightly overclocked penryn quad.

Do you guys think i need a new PSU, and if so, will you be able to name me a PSU i can get in the UK for below £50?
 
That psu should be more than capable.

Have you got the lastest drivers for your graphics cards?
Also have you checked the temps of your cards? although if there not overclocked i cant see newish cards over heating.

Cant think of anything else really
 
right.

well im running on the latest forceware 175.16
one of my cards is about 9 months old, the other is 2 months old, so neither should be overheating, so now im just assuming its XP X64 being annoying...
