Not sure if the link cable has something to do with it, however try to use add2psu just in case.

but when i add lyra2rev2 then second psu shutdown after five hour or if i use timeviewer or when do some job on pc or internet
4x msi trio 1080ti
2 x evga 750 gold
4x riser 6 pin
1 x add2psu
is possible that overclock for lyra2rev is too high that the add2psu shutdown psu?
is always shutdown miner and second psu i dont know is thise adapter add2psu can shutdown when something is wrong or is only for start both psu ?

Unplugging one of the cards didn't change anything system still down.

The rig I'm haven problems with is a 5 card gtx 1080 gigabyte https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1080AORUS-X-8GD#kf.  I built a new mining room with 1 exhaust 8 inch fan to the outside and 2 intake fans from my basement that's always has cold air.  I used a wire rack to hang the cards from. The mother board is on a wood base. After three days of mining in this room it started locking up and restarting. Than it would hard lock and restart but only 2 cards would come back on and the other 3 would not because the second psu would not turn on. The main psu has had no problems at all and runs the system and two cards. The second psu only runs 3 cards powers the risers and cards.  I have tried it with oc settings and stock settings on the cards same problem. I have replaced the psu 3 times. I have uninstalled the NVidia drivers and reinstalled them. I had this system for a month running with no problems before I built this room. Its in the middle rack. There is a 1070ti rig and rx 580 rig on the lowest shelf. They have zero problems. I have also replaced the psu link cable with no change.   Today before I left for work I unplugged one of the cards and now there is only two running on the second psu but I fear its going to do the same thing.   Where do I go from here? If it crashes again do I switch the cards that are running and wait and see or should I replace all risers boards?
