    I would just put in a 1000W power supply and be done with it even 500w for a system like this is very low. I would also put a 1200va UPS on the system to protect it from power spikes... These spikes damage power supplies, and if your UPS beeps all the time, you have a problem at the outlet, however, this is unusual. I always prefer to have a UPS as in winter when the supply is a bit low,(I am from South Africa) it will beep rather than damage my machine.

    Your power supply is not big enough... 700W at least... How many CD/DVD writers you have in your system?

    Change your PSU as soon as possible, before it does some damage.
    At the very least, remove the second card,
    I wouldn't purchase another Ezcool, though.
    I've read of numerous instances of Ezcool psus being the culprit behind SLI set-up shutdowns.
    JohnnyGuru, whose psu tests are well-respected, posted that Ezcool psus are poor quality.
    Nvidia has a listing of SLI certified PSUs at:
    http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone_build_psu.html
    Once you seriously investigate a new psu, you might want to check back and see if anyone is familiar with the brand and/or psu.
