So i recently bought a new GPU (Switched from the GTX 650 to the GTX 670)

and whenever i boot up a game like Planetside 2 (or whatever game that can have high quality graphics) after playing 5 mins my PC just shutsdown RANDOMLY!

It just shutsdown, and when i later boot up again it works fine you know i can play browser games and stuff but as soon as i play games that are on high quality (which the GTX 670 should be able to take) it will shutdown :( 

COUPLE FACTS YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW BEFORE ANSWERING :

-I did a WATT/Voltage test (eXtreme Power Supply Calculator) and my total was that i needed a recommended 350w power supply (I got a 550w+/-) minimum was 325, so yeah im higher then what is recommended.

-It's not the CPU cause i ran CPUID and when playing a game (i tried not to crash my pc by playing lower and a little bit less then 2min) The CPU temps are not even close to 60c, they hang around 30 to 40. (AVERAGE : 32C)

-I believe it's my GPU (Might not be but ok) cause its the only component that does have a temp change when i play BeGone it will go up to around 40c instead of staying down at 30.

-FANS (Not super sure but okay) : 1X CPU, 2X CASE, 2X GPU (1 is in GPU)


Any help? Is it a BIOS Error? Temperature Based with GPU?

Thanks!

what comes to my mind is temps try unplugging the gpu and plugging it again to see if its fixed!

System specs? Not all 550W are created equal.

Looks like a power issue so make and model of PSU is important for diagnosing this.
