My ground suggestion was something that won't fix this problem, but might fix other problems you might encounter later. Just remember the amperage that you draw from the battery needs to go back to the battery through ground. Using a smaller wire than your (+) wire means that your devices could draw more amps than it can sink to ground. That would be like using huge pipes to bring in water to your house and using very small pipes for your sewerage line. You’re not going to get rid of the used water as fast as you’re bringing in fresh water. And that could get messy.

What are all the USB and the PCI devices you are using?
