Hi all,
My system is in my signature. Problem is my system seemed to run fine before I switched my mobo. I will through out this caveat, when I ran 3dmark before switching boards I would hear a "pop" right before initiating each test(this means pop, test 1, pop, test 2, pop, cpu test 1...). This only occured with my 9800 GX2 and the PSU together. I had a 7900 GS while I waited for the 9800 GX2 to show up and did not get the pop.
Now I have recieved the dfi x48 board and can run fear, stream movies from netflix, and run Prime 95 for two hrs before I stopped it (just to see how the system is running not a final stability test). However, when I run 3dmark06 everytime now the system powers off and immediately restarts. No error codes, no blue screen of death, nothing. Just a restart.
Can switching boards (everything still set to stock values) expose a weakness in my power supply? I checked the boards at newegg for this product.

Could this boards pci-e 2.0 x16 slot pull that much more power to my gpu that is what is changing the "pop" I would hear to a complete system restart?
Please help. I am at my witt's end here. I have complete reformatted my harddrive and reinstalled vista to make sure it's not a leftover driver issue. I have clocked back my cpu, overclocked my cpu, changed voltages on every setting, reseated all my hardware...
Please voice your opinion. Does it sound like the PSU crapping out? a problem with the board? something I'm missing?
