For those that made it to the event i brought my box i just built firday
last week
Core2quad
8 Gb - Ram
SLI  8800 GT 512 Mb video cards
500 Gb sata Hd
Case with plenty of fans (8+1ps fan)
650/750 watt Ps (suppose to be sli certified ... )


I have been getting random reboots on this box for some reason.
the first time it happened was 48 hours after i got the machine it happened
twice during the demo.
and when i got home it also happen but pretty much 30mins-1hour.

According to lm-sensors the 4 cores under full load can run between 58C-50C
with there being up to 8 Degree flux
between the cores. ( i plan to get some new heat sink grease and another
Heat sink fan )  ( due to these processor
running pretty hot to begin with this might be normal )  So this could be a
heat issue. yet it seems to random and
could run some pretty intense programs like folding @home 64bit smp version
.... and games just fine )

Power could also be the problem .......  ( so once i got home i pulled one
of the 8800 GT in SLI out gona test this for a couple days )
.... off to get a 1kw power supply if this is the problem or at least a
supply with 2x 30amp 12v rails

Could also be a problem witth SLI and nvidia driver. i did set option SLI=0
to disable it and it still rebooted
