110 watts for those rails is low especially when you're doing something like V2SLI.
I'd say you should get something where that rating is more like 150 watts or higher.
You can easily find that rating being a bit higher on some supplies, like 130 watts on some models, but 20 more watts there is not much of an upgrade and may or may not solve your problem, so I don't recommend that. Double that difference with a 150w rating and you should be good to go.
And yes as someone else mentioned you can check out 2000s era supplies that still had -5v if you'd like to get a supply that has it just in case you do need it... try an Enermax Whisper series, perhaps an EG365P-VE which is fairly common on Ebay. Last model with the -5v rail as far as I know. For FSP you could go with a "60PLN" series like FSP350-60PLN. Not sure offhand of other model numbers of other manufacturers for supplies that still had -5v rails.
Awesome I'll grab a new PSU rated for 150w on said rails and see what happens!
Yeah given -5v is a isa card thing then that's not the problem looks like i misdiagnosed the problem but thanks for the suggestions anyway ^^
