How the heck you even able to turn your computer on with ONLY 420W PSU??

It's way low for running loads of fans and 4 hard drives AND a DX10 Graphics card (which requires power plugged direct into it.)

If your PSU has more that one plug for your Graphics Card, you may wanna try them both. I had an issue in the past where my plug was faulty and the card only ever recieved power from the PCI/ePCI slot. Same experience as you, low low FPS on just about anything..... tried a different plug and everything worked fine.

You'll want to get a new PS. Even with nothing else plugged in, that one's going to have trouble running the computer and vid card. It's probably throttled back the vid card, and may even have damaged it by now. When it comes to PS, it's always better to be safe.

More than enough, I have the corsair 620W SLI and no problems. I think I should be able to push 2 vid cards with it also.

Thats really odd, thees no reason you shouldn't be able to run 2 instances with your set-up.

I would go bare bones with WoW and your OS and trouble shoot a bit.

With WoW: NO AddOns! (Honestly, AddOns killed it for me when running 5 instances of WoW, now Main runs a lotta Addons and slaves run like 2-3 each.) If that doesnt help, try go into video options, turn everything down and make sure your in Windowded Mode, specially if your running KeyClone maximizer.

With the PC, are you running Vista or XP? Vista maxed out uses about 700MB ram.... maybe scale that back to "Clasic Mode"?

What else, maybe bad ram? download a freebee Ram checking software and see if its ok or not.

Thats where I would start but I'm no expert, maybe someone else might have an idea?

EDIT: I forgot your running 2 monitors, try just using 1 and trouble shoot from there.
