Recently, I have had a ton of crashes when playing graphically intense games (oblivion and Ut2004). After sending my graphics card (see sig) back to XFX, I spotted a an unknown port on my motherboard.

After reading about this in the manual, I discovered that this is an aux power source for PCI-e Cards.

Could this be the reason that my computer resets when playing graphically intense games?
