So recently my PC started exploded when I either play Crysis 3 or Batman Arkham Origins :(.
I really hope I don't have to buy any new parts so please hit me with some good news.
Specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1
System Manufacturer: MSI
System Model: MS-7641
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 960T Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti
Display Memory: 4095 MB
Dedicated Memory: 2994 MB
Shared Memory: 1101 MB
Current Mode: 1920 x 1080 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 600W ATX 12K 2.3

This is pretty much EVERYTHING. Please help me :(...
It was not happening before, I received this card the 14th of December and this problem started occurring on the 28th.

EDIT: I just noticed that my PC'S CPU and RAM usage is over 50% constantly when idle. Any ideas people? I think this is the issue here.

I thought that was the problem, I guess that's really it, I was taking the chance when I read the booklet.. Sad how my old card works better because of this issue. Anyone wants to recommend me a new PSU to buy?

I think there is more to it than just the PSU, it worked fine before, when my ASC is up, it says 50% ram and CPU is being accumulated when idle? Any ideas what I can do to fix that? Maybe that was the problem all along?

I can't even do that, as soon as I start up either games it shuts down after about 30 seconds. I really need help with this new issue, why is my CPU and RAM usage at 50% + when idle?

I agree with above as a first step id swap that PSU.
Try this:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008RJZQSW/ref=twister_B0093XCRXS
You can always return it.


Here is a comment on newegg about your current PSU:

Power supply started to go sketchy on me about two months into ownership. Wasn't happy powering my GTX660ti video card, even after I removed the monster card, psu would cause random power drop bluescreens. Swapped in my old antec 430w and now it's stable. Really really displeased with this product.

You've got something running there. Start Task Manager, go to the Processes tab, click "Show processes from all users", see who is taking all those CPU cycles. Maybe you just need to close your antivirus when you start gaming. I've had that issue with Kaspersky - not crashes but it was causing stuttering in games.

Or maybe you have a virus...
