If it is a PS issue, then that would confirm it, but that assumes you have enough
6 or 8 wire power connectors for both cards.
That brings to mind another idea about PS capacity. Given you need 7 SATA ports,
you could try booting with the power connectors for all but the one you are
booting from disconnected, giving the PS some reserve capacity to use for the
5700. If it it proceeds to display Grub instead of locking up, you know where the
fault lies.
