    Sorry for not being online lately Anyway, I started a game in windowed mode with temp monitors next to it the tempratures were pretty much normal like before 2 seconds of the restart, my memory seems fine, too :/ I checked event viewer and this is the critical error:
    "Event 41 - Kernel Power:
    General:
    "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first.
    This error could be caused if the system stopped responding,
    crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
    Details (in XML):
    Link"

    Don't know if it's useful based on the comments that came after this one, but games in windowed mode will never push the card to it's max temperature, so you best run them in fullscreen and alt + tab before there's time for the temperature to change.

    My PC rebooted anyway so I guess it's not overheating.

    @DAB: sadly no. I guess I'll just buy a new one. What brand do you recommend??

    Shame I don't want you to go out and buy one incase it isn't the problem.

    Branding isn't a major issue for PSU's, its what the 12v Rails give and what functionality they provide (2xPCI-e 6 Pins etc)
    Oh and Don't forget some tuts on ASM and defeating DMA

    Clicky Here for them
