I have a 550w Antec PSU, with x1950xtx's in crossfire and every time I run either 3dmark 05 or 06 the system just crashes and resets. I have a feeling it could be a lack of power.

The rest of my system is an e6300 at 2.8, 2gb of ram (two different sticks, one a standard stick the other an OCX silver fast thingy).

Any help appreciated.
 
The solution I used was a Thermaltake Power Express GPU power supply. This is a 250W PSU and it costs around £26 if you Google it. I think it's about the best solution for every build as it seperates the GPU load from the main PSU creating a really well balanced and safer power environment, not to mention being relatively inexpensive. No I don't work for Thermaltake, LOL.
