Multiple BSODs while using PC

[Sears501]

My computer worked fine when I had my msi 970 with 16 gigabytes of ram. But since Black Friday had good sales, I bought two msi gaming x 1080s and more ram to the total of 32 gigabytes of ram in my system in total. Then I started bluescreenjng on the second day of owning the hardware. SLI was configured, and I installed the nvidia drivers for the card. I have no idea why I'm bluescreening, I have tried resetting my PC and nothing works.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS

MSI Z97 gaming 5

intel core i7 4790k 

corsair ddr3-2400 32gb of ram

2x msi GeForce gtx gaming x 1080 with sli led bridge

corsair rm650

samsung 850 pro 158gb

western digital 1tb

This is probably the culprit of it. 650 watts for sli 1080s is a bit too little

Holy shit you went on a shopping spree mate. Could be the extra memory you bought.

Have you tried both of the GPUs separately? 1. One of the GPUs might be faulty 2. One of the PCIe slots might be faulty 3. Your PSU doesn't have enough juice to power it up

But how would that result in blue screens? Wouldn't it just shut off?

I don't really know. I've heard PSU's can provide more than they are "capable of", but i'm not 100% sure

Edit: Maybe you could lend a higher capacity PSU from a friend?

Okay, it's stuck in an infinite loop now

I'll see what I can do

Blue screens can happen due to not enough power.

When I Overclock too far!, Not feeding enough Juice to a Part - BSOD's.. (Usually GPU driver or System Kernel BSOD (CPU/Memory)

It doesn't always just restart the PC.

It can be called a "HARDLOCK" as opposed to a BSOD/Restart

 

IMO - Just try running the system with 1 GPU for now... if it seems okay, swap them (still running one) if that one is okay, and you add both, and problems come back, I'd put money on its the PSU.

Ah ok.

I have concluded that both GPUs are functional and operational, all four sticks of RAM are functional, and PCIe slots are working properly. According to everyone here, the problem is the PSU. I will be getting a corsair AX 860i very soon. Thank you all.
