Hi, I built a pretty decent gaming rig about 6 months ago
-gigabyte 970a
-fx6300
-corsair vengeance 8gb 1600mhz ddr3
-his iceq boost hd7950
the only component I reused was my power supply I bought in 07 RAIDMAX VOLCANO RX-630A

The system has run totally fine up until I decided to start overclocking the GPU (I play at 2560x1440 and like eyecandy) basically when I overclock the gpu even slightly, the system will shutdown most of the time in heaven benchmark or a game (no artifacts or anything, just shuts down). I dont think heat is an issue as it happens even with fan running at 100% and only around 50c under full load. Also, I ran case open with a large desk fan blowing right on the vram and it still happens. Do you think the power supply is the issue?
