Hey guys, I just built a new PC and have been running into issues. First off, here are my specs:

GPU: GeForce GTX 780 3GB
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core
SSD: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE500BW 2.5" 500GB
Mobo: Gigabyte UD4H
Case: Fractal R4
Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan
Windows 8.1.

Reusing from my old PC (built around April 2010):

PSU: CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W
RAM: 2x CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
HDD: Western Digital WD Green WD20EZRX 2TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5

I just put this PC together last Thursday/Friday and am running into an issue. My PC randomly restarts in the middle of playing Titanfall. I played the tutorial and 3 rounds last Friday night with no issue. Saturday I joined a game and it restarted within a few minutes. After it rebooted I played 2 matches and it rebooted in the middle of the 3rd. I ran RealTemp while playing TitanFall. Hottest my CPU got was 54C. My GPU was around 70ish. I have updated my BIOS and downloaded drivers for the mobo and gpu.

Last night I tried using just one stick of my memory, it restarted after a few matches. Next I tried using slots 2/4 (I had my memory in slots 1/3), it restarted after five or so matches. I then tried using different memory that I know has no issues (2x 4GB of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314)... it worked for 8 or 9 matches and I thought I had figured it out... but nope, restarted. CPU/GPU temps were about the same as I posted last time (Above). When it restarts its just in the middle of playing, screen goes black, power button LED goes off and then its rebooting. The only thing I see in the event log when this happens is:

The process Explorer.EXE has initiated the shutdown of computer JASON on behalf of user Jason\Jason for the following reason: Other (Planned)
Reason Code: 0x80000000
Shutdown Type: shutdown

Guess the next step is to try a new PSU..? If anyone has any advice or suggestions I would appreciate it.
 
Well I would usually says it's the psu, but the titanfall beta is so buggy I can't even play it. I get flickering/random text popping in all over the place constantly in it and no other game has any issues. Try some other games first and see if you run into the problem with them.

I haven't had any other issues with Titanfall besides the random restarts :\. I do need to try another game, I haven't really had a chance yet. I've played one match of BF4 maxed out but that is it so far. I plan on trying that more tonight and seeing if it restarts as well.
