Computer turns off wont start back up until I switch the power switch off and on. This only happens when I am mid-game with the resolution on high.
It is a recently built computer with specs:
Intel I5 cpu
EVGA GTX660 video card
Corsair CX750w pcu
Asus Z87-pro MB

I was thinking power but it seems that 750w should be plenty. Possibly overheating? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Jacob

Alright, it is really hot right after it fails, would this be a sign of it being defective? Also would It be attributed to poor air flow through the case? I only have one case fan.
