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

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?

it completely shuts off and turns back on i checked the requirements for power supply and it says im good, but i might as well change it then, and i bought them separately and they work
 



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=N82E16817438017

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?

No, but 70C is fine. :)
