Guys ,

Been tinkering around with my pc , last week i brought a new 3TB Hard drive , when i installed it the system seemed very sluggish , and on occasions s i got a MBR1 error when re-booting , After some research i realized all my drives were in incorrect sata ports and in the bios is was set to IDE instead of AHCI , So i went to take out my 7970 and i think i accidentley pulled it out with too much force , as i thought i pushed down the release lever , however....i think i may of pulled out the PCI Ex port from the motherboard slightly , i carried on anyway connecting the drives to the right ports , and the installed the o/s , After loading all my programs and games back on , every now and then the system just re-booted and gave me no error signs , I can play some games like max payne , skyrim dirt , but there are a selected few that cause the system to re-boot like crysis2 , and re-boot will happen when there is no load on the pc , Ive tried to back (...... pc just re-booted while is was typing this - thanks to chrome i can carry on ) track and the changes ive have made recently are updated bios ( successfully ) installed new hard drive. Ive run the event viewer , but dont really understand it , so i am wondering if i have screwed over my motherboard or its a power issue now ive added an extra hard drive , btw , i have not had any bsod.... any ideas??

Thanks

Just looking at the event viewer it all has critical errors with a source of kernel power , i would post a screenshot of it but i dont know how...lol
 
this is what the event viewer critical error details gave me..........means nothing to me..

update: I put only one card in the system , and put it in the port which i think is now faulty , but it works my games play fine , so i stuck my other card in , but never connected it to crossfire , and again they worked , i then tried them in crossfire , and it crashed again , so it looks like either a crossfire issue or not enough power.....what do you think??
 
If it was just the plastic prt of the pcie slot and it pushed back on with the barbs looking ok it will be fine, I've done it's few times..

Crossfire, have you got the brige on the correct way? Also is its fresh copy of windows, 850w power should be fine.
 
Well , i updated to the new bios and it seemed to do the trick, will test it more tomorrow, may do a clean install with the new uefi bios in place , as im hoping its a software issue
 
Had no such luck on my return from work , booted up , ran heaven benchmark , and system crashed before it started. so ive think its a PSU issue , Ive started another post about the psu.
