Um, don't O/C. Obviously you have pushed the cards too far. X1950 Pro's are not known for their OCing prowess. What brand do you have?

Should be in his specs. Looks like the 500W Liberty might not have enough umph to OC the CF setup. I had to upgrade from my silverstone 500W. DAMNIT recommends 550W 38A on the 12v rail.
