I'm pretty sure my PSU is an Antec TruePower 850Watt. That's off the top of my head but I recall spending some money on it as I like to have a good power supply.
Interesting comment on cards of that vintage dying. The problems I describe in my OP, does that sound like a dying card?
As for heat, I bought a Cool Master case that is supposed to be awesome for cooling. I do notice that the exhaust coming out the back is really quite hot but figured that would be normal considering the size of the cards.
That actually raises another question. Looking at my MOBO's PCIe slots. The first one says something along the lines of pcieX16, next ones down says pcie x8 and the last one says pcie x4 or something like that. When putting in cards in an sli configuration, should they be installed one right below the other or should they skip on pcie slot so there is a gap between the 2?
