PSU Problems?

Right this all started couple years back, my GTX295 Wouldnt work with multi GPU mode on, it kept crashing, then it burnt out eventually so i gave up, Now my new system isnt working and only same things are my HDD, RAM and PSU, my new 5970 keeps crashing and bluescreening, now it wont work at all, my system with a weak gcard isnt working some one said it was the PSU not being powerful enough but its a 1000w psu! =/

EDIT: i get the power up but it sounds like its struggling and not startin up propperly, i still get no singal from the PC to the monitors regardless of which graphics cards on, but no onboard graphics on the MB, Also when the 5970 is plugged in its LED flashes green, but when it was working the light was solid green.

My specs are:

AMD X4 965 CPU
Asus M4N82 Deluxe nForce 980a SLi MB
8GB(4X2GB) DDR2
Sapphire 5970 GPU
2x Sata HDD
X-FI Creative FATL1TY SC
Coolermaster V10 Cooler

All running off a Coolermaster 1000w PSU,

Any ideas what the fault could be? =[

Try starting the system with minimum components, ie one HD, 1 stick of ram, just in case one of these is coursing problems.

Is there a possibility of testing the card in another machine or test another card in your system.

nope, still starting up but nothin, that eliminates the PSU being the problem.

Just see if you can get other PSU to try.
Good (like Corsair/Seasonic) 500W PSU is enough.

Also memory coudl be problem.

well i really took it down to the bare mins and nothing, took out the CPU and noticed theres a pin missing o.O which makes NO sence as it WAS working but isnt now... also lovely OCuk policy ... they dont take multiple items from an order to RMA so im either gonna get MB or CPU fixed -.-
