I also have a 1000W power supply, so I doubt that is the issue either. I am simply curious, but the teams that are having trouble, does your computer just go black screen then reboot?
Personally, I updated my drivers, but that did not fix the problem entirely. I turned up the fans on the case to max, and that seems to have fixed the issue. I received my card at the DC Regional, where any team that was around on Saturday afternoon got one.

Are your fans all moving air in one direction? In one end and out the other works best for maximum airflow, otherwise you just end up with doldrums inside your case...and we don't want that, now do we?
