Also @Mods, just because scrypt is mentionned in a post doesn't make a topic unrelated to where it was posted. This is clearly related to hardware, the fact it is mining scrypt is only complementary information. I could have posted the exact same without the mention of scrypt.

I'm having some troubles with my 3x5970 rig.

I'm starting by small problems to maybe fix the bigger ones.
I was on linux before, all cards were running fine and then one day it shut down, restarted it and every time I would start the miner it would shut down with a brief flash of red light from the 3 cards. Since then, switched to windows, same problem, can mine with 2 cards though. (PSU: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182063)

I found out one of the cards had a PCIe riser that had a pad pin that wasn't connecting properly and changed the riser.
Another of the riser had difficulties plugging in correctly with the molex (but didn't cause any problems), I removed the white plastic to plug the cable directly into the molex just to make sure.

When mining I'm normally (meaning the cards working correctly) getting 350Kh/s per core. This one card is mining [scrypt] at ~230Kh/s on Core 0 and 350Kh/s on Core 1

I'm suspecting the error to have something with it. I had installed 11.12 at first and didn't have these errors, however I had read somewhere people with crashing cards should upgrade so I did, am now on 13.1 and SDK 2.8.1.

So what exactly is this error? I mean cgminer sees the temps and fan speed(s) of the card.

Any points or help is appreciated. Thank you.

update: both cores at 350Kh/s for some reason, still asking about the error though

update2: Both cores are now sick
