I put together a new rig loosely based on the $650 gaming pc article. The setup is:
AMD FX6300
8 Gig Kingston Red/blue Ram
MSI 970A-G46
550 Watt Corsair PSU
I TB WD h/d
and the problem component it would seem:
MSI GTX 770 (4G Twon Frozr)
I did a clean install of WIndows 7 64bit and everything goes fine until the video driver installs. I will get past the W7 login screen, and get to the main screen however a minute later the system reboots, no prompts, nothing.
So I did a clean install again this time using an old geforce 8880 to get W7 completely up to date. Downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers (non-beta) and installed. Everything is fine.
I then took the GTX 560TI out of my current rig and plugged it into the new one. Drivers recognize the card and the system runs fine. Insert the GTX 770, card gets recognized and then the reboots start occurring again.
OK, so I took the GTX 700 and put it in my current Intel dual core rig running Vista. System comes up installs the drivers and card works fine (this has a 550W PSU as well).
So now I am not sure if it is the card or not at this point. I tried different memory configurations, I've given the GTX 770 is own power however not matter what I have tried I cannot get past this reboot issue. Any help appreciated.

Good to see the problem identified.
