As smeeze said, temps are important. Run HW monitor and keep an eye on CPU/GPU temps.

When it shuts down just to be clear its only a black screen right? Not a BSOD or any other weird error?

You do have the cards 2 6pin connectors plugged in, right?

Also is this a new problem? Has it been occurring with onboard or an older video card? The card unfortunately could be defective.
