I have an i7- 3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 core(s) 8 logical processors, 12 gb ddr3 vengence ram, 750 watt power supply, windows 7 64 bit, and a GTX 660 FTW 3gb graphic card. and i can't play games such as battlefield, batman arkham origins and titanfall and i just bought all of them and i can't return them, My computer keeps shutting down once i try to start the games even on the lowest settings, what can i do to fix this problem!!!! This is getting aggravating! I also recently got a liquid cooler to see if it helps, only for a while before it just shuts down again. All drivers are updated and everything is suppose to work fine but it just doesn't make the cut for some reason

What is the brand/make and model of the power supply. And what are the temperatures of your CPU and GPU when not gaming and gaming?

What we need is the brand of make of the power supply and the temperatures of you pc when idle. I would ask in testing but your PC crashes.

TIER 5 This is not a good Power supply. Replace ASAP. Not enough power is making it to your system. Seasonic/XFX and Silverstone are the best PSU's you can buy.

Hold on, did you just buy the graphics card recently or the whole system? What motherboard are you using? Which PCIe slot is the graphics card mounted in and what connections are you running from the graphics card to the monitor(s). Does the computer actually lose power or just goes dark?

That is a very low end PSU that can kill your entire system. If you want a 750w PSU, get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Agreed. That's the best 750W PSU out right now. I have one myself ;) 
It does sound like a PSU problem. I recommend getting that one.

Will it solve everything else like the temperature when it goes up to like 70 degress as well?

+1 for the idea of replacing the PSU. I guess it is not supplying enough power while the system is on load.
