But I have experienced computer shutting off (not crashing) but just shutting off. And it was caused by a failing 700W power supply. Now i know that you have a 1000W PSU, but frankly that doesn't mean sh*t if its failing. Another possibility is that your motherboard needs a bios update - so do that, and if it still shuts off, then start eyeballing that PSU. The multiplier thing would BSOD, or fail to boot altogether, or just run really slow (if it actually existed, which it doesnt). When something just shuts off without any crash, just a *plooop* and its off, then its most likely a power problem.

BTW PCI-e is supposed to be at 2500MHz, this will not cause timing conflicts if your bus is below that, i have never heard of that.

Certain nVidia chipsets would raise the PCIe clock, up to 125Mhz in some cases, in the presence of certain nVidia cards. But I think they got away from that.
