    That calculator says I need a 378 under 100% load. Could the lack of Amps on the 12V rail be causing the problems? My voltages are actually optimal:

    +3.3V: 3.41
    +5V: 5.19
    12V: 12.28


    So its not overburdened with 420 Watts.
    How did you get those numbers?
    The lack of Amps on the +12V rail can certainly cause problems.

        Got it from the Bios, and verified in Speedfan.

            The absolute best and only way to get truly reliable numbers is by actually measuring them with a multimeter. If you have access to one you are set. Let me know.

                I'll find out tomorrow afternoon when my new PSU gets in. Since I posted on this thread I swapped the 7800GT out for my old old 5600 256mb, and the problem is still there, however less of a hinderance. I am almost convinced its the PSU considering the problem still exists, but less pronounced, Prime95 detected no errors after 4 hours, and memtest86 tested out fine.

                    Turned out to be the PSU. Everything is back as it was. I thought thermaltake was a good PSU, I guess having an 18A 12v rail didn't help.

                        That's good, at least everything got fixed.
