Playing any game really - will shut my computer off, as if it was unplugged from the wall. Happens randomly, and quite quickly into the gameplay.

Setup:

GPU: Asus GTX 780 TI OC Direct CU ii
CPU: i7-4770k
PSU: Thermaltake 850w
Mobo: Asus Z87 Plus

GPU Temp wasn't going above 60c during gameplay. I have a case with 5 fans, all running in addition to the two on the video card itself. I tried shutting off the "Power Surge Protection" setting in Bios, and I updated Mobo bios to the latest version. Didnt help.
This did not happen with my GTX 680.

Thank you!

Its really pointing at a bad power supply.
I know your psu has a huge number stamped on it, but perhaps it just cant handle the amperes
of that monster card. The pc shuts down when the 3d mode kicks in.
Borrow a good psu and try it.

Okay - I ran to the store and swapped out my old Power Supply with a brand new digital Toughpower DPS 750w from Thermaltake. the power no longer shuts off, but now whenever I fly around on my glider in Archeage, or play any game with a long view distance, the monitors flash off, the speakers start to hum, and the music from the game sort of starts gargling and stopping. The computer is still ON, but I cannot access anything and the monitors go black into power save mode. I have to reboot.

May be there is something wrong with the card or there are manual settings that messes with its performance... Reinstall the GEforce experience and play with optimal settings+ make ur GPU tweak settings to default... If the problem still persists then dont take chances, something is wrong with the card... contact ASUS before any damages take place...:??:
