I have a serious issue that I can't seem to solve with my build from March of this year. When I am playing pretty much any game that is at least somewhat gpu intensive my computer will randomly either shut off or the screen will go white with a really loud buzzing noise and then recover back to desktop.

I have tried many things to fix this issue such as
1. Making sure nothing is overheating.
2. making sure all the drivers are up to date.
3. removing overclocking.
4. removing unnecessary add-on cards
5. checking ram for errors.
6. replacing the ram despite no errors being found.
7. Taking the whole build apart and reassembling it.

Here is my build
CPU: I7-3770K
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V
Ram: 2x CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8
GPU: EVGA superclocked+ 660ti 3gb
PSU: Thermaltake EVO-Blue Series EVO-650MPCGUS 650W
OS: Windows 7 professional 64 bit
HDD: Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD5000HHTZ 500GB 10000 RPM

Any ideas?

I suspect either Graphics card or PSU but im not sure which it is. I guess I could reinstall windows.

I was even convinced It was one of my graphics cards at one point and took the one that ran hotter appart to re thermal paste it.... most annoying problem ever. more annoying then a bad ram stick sector. ahhh you live you learn.
