    I have an issue when playing games, after about 5-10 second the fan on one of my GPU's starts to run at 100%, the game freezes then I get a RSOD.

    What's the error code?

    And if you swap the GPU's around, does the fan spin at 100% on the same card?

    Have you tried with one memory stick at a time?

    Thanks guys as it turns out I took the offending card out and it was filled with dust causing it to over heat. I need to clean my PC more:duh:
    Just one more question do you guys have any suggestions for cleaning it, I was just going to take off the heat sink bath it in rubbing alcohol dry it and put it back together with new thermal paste. That a good plan or is there a better way?
