Video card is bad or the power supply, those 2 are the most likely causes. If anything is overclocked, set it all back to defaults and try things again. If you have onboard video, remove the 6670 and run on that for a while. If that runs OK, test the card in another system. If that runs OK, try a different power supply in yours with that video card.
