Hi everybody!!

Computer specs are:
Intel Core i7-4820K Ivy Bridge-E Quad-Core 3.7GHz
ASUS P9X79 LGA 2011
ASUS GTX770 2GB
GeIL EVO Veloce Series 16GBSDRAM DDR3 1866
Samsung SSD 840 Pro series 128 GB
Seagate HD1TB 7200RPM
Creative Sound card PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
Rosewill 800w Modular powersupply
Windows 7 64bit

Fairly new upgraded system with a new Mobo CPU and GPU upgraded within the last 6 months.
Problem is when I ever start up most games my computer seems to either reset itself or goes to black and needs a hardest.

Strange thing is the crash is not immediate. Its only when I log into acually game world its self. I can navigate the menus and screw with settings. But when i spawn into an actually FPS map or MMO game or something in game I crash within the first 5 mins. Oddly I can also play Indie games without crashing. Games like Rouge Legacy or Luftrasuer I can play fine. Only the more graphic intensive games crash.

I've checked my temperature in my bios and im floating around 38 to low 40 Celsius. I guessing maybe a Power supply issue but either than crashing during gaming my computer is perfectly normal and acts like a champ.Help anyone?

I'd suggest Re-installing your drivers. Completely remove any and all Drivers with DDU https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/550192/display-driver-uninstaller-ddu-v12-8-0-1-released-05-15-14-/ (nvidia's certified 3rd party driver removal software) and then re-download and re-install the latest drivers. See if that gets you anywhere.

Did this issue start happening when you changed GPU's? what GPU did you have before? I'm suspecting a Driver issue here.
Your PSU shouldn't have any problems unless it's defective.
