Did you use the same risers in same positions?  Possibly bad riser like this....

Same risers, same positions for all of the 6th. But I did change the riser on the 7th once the first one was fried. Also, how can a riser, cause such havoc?

it is a dead short   trust me.

   I killed the slot the gpu and the psu when I did it.  My guess is  I had a 750 watt psu and you have a beast to do 7 gpus so you feed it more juice and killed more gear.

I do smaller rigs and rarely bother with  a lot of risers.  Shorts are a big reason and my double cataract repaired eye are okay but not great for depth perception and close up stuff.
