Ok yesterday I installed 2 new video cards (see below) into my system. Everything seemed to be fine but I found that when I used windows performance tests that after a min or so my computer would restart (during the test). I found that it did this each time (tried many). I also tried to run 3D Mark Vantage, with the same problem. I think it has to do with not enough power, that when the system is put under a little strain it shutdown. My dad told me I should post it on the sites i use and ask everyone's advice about what the problem might be. I have also noticed that I am only getting around 40-60fps in the games I play like WOW, Startrek etc. not sure why, but all I know is that I should be getting alot more then that. Please help. Thank you.
