So I just upgraded my graphics card on my PC, I upgraded it to the GTX 770. After installing all the drivers and Direct X stuff i wanted to try it out. So i go into my game (Guild Wars 2) and everything loads in fine but when i actually get into the game i see it for 2 seconds then boom my computer shuts down and restarts. I was curious to see if it was just this game so i tested it out on another (Planet Side 2) then again i load in all nice and pretty then when i get to the game to actually start playing again my computer just decides to restart. Any help and i would be soo greatful.
Heres my specs:
ASRock H61M/U3S3 micro ATX intel Mobo
Asus HD7750 into the EVGA SuperClocked Geforce GTX 770 2gb
Intel i5-2400 3.1 Ghz with a 3.4 Turbo boost
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Power Supply
8gb G.Skill Ares Series RAM
western Digital WD Blue 500Gb
Edit: It works with TF2 Though!

As the new hardware installed, did you check if it is recognized as your GPU-model and does it match your drivers?

You could do some more troubleshooting, like a clean install of Windows with the newest drivers, updating your BIOS, etc. But I'm seriously thinking your PSU can't deliver the power your GPU requires. Nvidia states that you would need at least 600W PSU, but they don't know what else you have in your system. Besides that, your PSU would not deliver the 100% 600W it says, you will always lose a percentage, based on the quality of your PSU.
