When I am playing games, my system will lock up and the framerate will drop to about 1 for about 15 seconds or so. I am using a PSU that doesn't have dedicated PCI-e connections, so I am using molex adapters. One adapter connects from 2 molex to one 6 pin PCI-e plug. The other adapter only has one molex to the 6 pin adapter. Is my card not getting enough juice hence the sporatic shutdown? I don't see any problems in Furmark. This card runs hella hot but so do all GTX 470's so I don't think it is shutting down per overheating. Thoughts? thanks
