not saying he's under powering as much, more that the PSU might be faulty.
Or it can't handle 3 GPUs sucking power once mining starts, maybe "stage" the mining process by starting 1, then 2, then the 3rd instead of all at the same time.
What's the message on the BSOD ? atimag ?

that surely points to the PSU then ?
What wattage is it ? have you got another one you can try ?
I doubt yochdog would underpower his rigs.What wattage is it ? have you got another one you can try ?
But the crashing is odd, I've had 6 on 1 rig before, all on extenders, and 1 on a PCI to PCIe adapter.
I'd be interested in what the BSOD says. 11.6 with SDK 2.5 should be stable.

do they BSOD under load or while booting into windows ?
When I used to run windows for my miners I had 2 5970s in one rig and it would always crash CGMiner. Turned out to be the PSU.

They only BSOD once mining begins. Otherwise they seem fine.

I seem to have consistent problems running more than 3 GPUs (3 cards that is....I have many 2x 5970's working) in a single system.
Whenever I add a 3rd graphics card to a system, they almost always blue screen on me. It does not seem to matter what brand of MOBO, what type of GPU, etc. I use Win7, mostly 64 bit.
Has anyone else had issues like this?
I would really like to figure out what is going wrong, as I could increase my density greatly by making use of the idle PCI slots.
Thanks in advance.

What drivers? What SDK? What board?
All over the board. This is an issue I have had with all of the set-ups I have tried.
I will get the specifics on one of the configs and post it.

have you tried setting the PCIE Latency to 96 in the Mobo bios?
I have not. But I will certainly give it a shot.
