What is your PSU?

Remove the GPU overclock and see if it crashes?

What is the CPU temp under load?

PowerLogic Magnum Pro 375 PSU
It's not overclocked
80C (on stress test)


EDIT: I do NOT have thermal paste on my CPU, could that be a problem?

YES you are ruining the CPU by overheating it. You NEED thermal paste. Turn off the computer and don't turn it back on until you fix the paste.

Also, that PSU is not enough for that GPU. Get an antec, Corsair, XFX, Seasonic 500w unit. That low quality unit could fry the computer.

Are you sure about PSU? It's 750W

That PSU is complete trash. It likely makes less than 500w. Total junk. Only 1 PCI connector on a 750w PSU? Most 650w PSU come with 4. It is not a good unit and should be replaced ASAP.

Get a 500w unit from the brands above.
