Hi ive had this build for 9 months without alot issues:

CPU: Intel i5-3570k
GPU GTX 660 Ti Power Edition
PSU: Thermaltake TR2 600w

Lately i have had problems with the GPU drivers crashing and lag spikes in game. Now some of my games crash when there is alot of explosions or alot of movement. I am not sure if my GPU or CPU are the causes. My CPU temps are normal and there is no tremendous CPU usage.

Edit:

Just got this from MSI Afterburner: http://gyazo.com/70343030055b1502d7472ad60d1e850d.png

The power percentage it at 35727%

WOAH. Your GPU is running at 150% power? That is not good at all. I hope you don't accidentally have the power slider turned up on accident. That's most likely a GPU hardware problem as long as you don't have it accidentally overclocked in any programs...

And that was at idle, i was not running any games when that was taken. And the power slider as in the red slider on the PSU? If so that is set at 115 which i think is default. If my GPU keeps doing this i will get it RMA'ed. And i do not have anything OC'd at all.

Tinker around with your power settings. See if the problem persists. If nothing works, then just return it for a new one. No use wasting your warantee.
