I have a big deal, after two days of stress, for my pc, born a problem:
after 2 minutes of render, windows crashes.
I tried to take off, one of the three video cards, and now everything is ok.
The problem is the video card or the psu is not able to supply more all the cards?
There are programs that stress the components to figure out where to act to solve the problem?

Thanks a lot

My power connector on the motherboard for one of the CPUs was blown multiple times ( now it is black and PSU cable plastic end was melted ) until I figured out that 1250W supply was not sufficent for 3 TITANs and 2 XEONS plus all the other crap I have connected so it might be the PSU.

After I added the second PSU everything works great.

thank you for your speeches,
Now I tried to buy a new video card, to see if the old card, has created the problem.
I will go to attempts to isolate the problem ....
Thank you again

Hi Daniel, maybe next time tell us what exact hardware you use if you have such a problem?

Anyways here is a very good PSU calculator:

Unfortunately, bad news.
I have removed all the cards to clean from dust,
I put everything I have on, and the two extensions linking video cards with the motherboard, are burned !! came out of the big smoke and now windows will not start.
It turns on your PC but does not load win ... maybe the motherboard has to be thrown away I think !!: D

I am not sure 1000W supply is enough for 2 XEONS and 3 GPUs. As I said my 1250W supply was not enough for that.
