    Question GPU spikes to 100% and programs hang ?

    Haven't posted in a bit, since I haven't had much time to mess around with it. I went and replaced the old cable (the "pigtail" one, PCI-E 8(6+2) x2) with two separate cables (the "normal" PCI-E 8(6+2)) going from the PSU to the two ports on the GPU. Made sure I had the right end in the PSU, the...

I probably have the old box of cables somewhere around here, might have the manual. If I can find it, I might be able to take a shot...

I ran through some stuff after resetting it default values in EVGA Precision. The board and CPU's values seem fine, they don't change. The GPU's goes from a min of .706V to...
