Hello everyone! :) 

Back in June i bought & build my own computer, the specs are following:

CPU: i5-3570k
GPU: EVGA GTX660ti FTW Signature 2
Board: MSI Z77A-G45
PSU: Corsair CX750W (Modular)
RAM: 2x 4GB Kingston (1600 Mhz)
SSD: 2x 240 GB Samsung 840 series


Recently, i updated to the newest NVidia driver (R331.65), but the day after i tried turn back up the garphics in World of Warcraft (turns down everytime i closes it for some reason) it INSTANTLY shutsdown, nothing about "shutting down"

I've tried following also:
- Reset of CMOS
- Downgrade of NVidia driver (tho only 1 version back)
- Switching out GPU (GTX 660ti to GTX 260)
- Re-installed Windows 8 (Updated to 8.1)



I really dont have ANY idea of what it can be.. I'm out of ideas.
Anyone with same problems, or some suggestions what the problems could be or why they occur?

Check your temps and event log. You are likely overheating SOMEHOW.

Would be wierd for me to have temp problems never had it befor, when i did Crysis 3 max temp on GPU was 85 degree & CPU was 70 degree.

Also i'm not quite sure about what you mean with "Event Log", where i went is: Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer. Thought i've no idea what the stuff means, if you want a picture please let me know :) 

But running WoW is only about 40-55, so shouldn't the problem :/ 


Thought last thing i did was activating "NVidia's new ShadowPlay", turn it off immediately. But not sure if this even can be the problem..

let me know if there is something i've been unclear about, and you want more in-depth :s

Did these problems start after installing the new drivers from NVIDIA or before that?
Does the PC shut down when at idle?
Are the CPU temps right? I mean 70 looks a little high.

Not sure, but think i updated from GeForce 327.23 Driver -> GeForce 331.65 Driver (Game Ready). After the update i was testing/looking on the new stuff they included, thought the day after i turn it on after about 30 min of no problem it suddenly shut off, just like if the power was cut.
No it does not shut down at idle, seems like it only does it when the GPU has to do heavy work, but NEVER done it before so it's abit wierd it does it.
Also the CPU temps, yes aprox. Thought i only play World of Warcraft and CPU only reaches 45-50 degree with that :/

Just tested it, i also managed to start WoW this time after installing the driver that follows within the GPU box when you buy it.

GPU was: 36 degree when it shut down
CPU was: about 40-43 degree wwhen shut down

Usually, a PC will shut down due to overheating problems. It could also be due to power problems (PSU or wall outlet).

I've tested all my components except my PSU & MB, but how can it be posible this problem occurs while gaming with no problems or signs, and suddenly juts shuts down

Sudden shutdowns can be a result of improper power output.
You may want to test your PSU and Motherboard too.
