AMD 6870 causing computer to crash from video.

In the past when watching videos when I would have 5-10 youtube or similar flash video tabs open adobe would crash and I would need to reload for whatever I wanted to watch again. Well now on a fresh install of windows, after installing all drivers and updates and programs I normally download, when I open a few it sometimes is fine, but sometimes the computer will just shut down and it also has started doing it while watching videos on vlc too. I am pretty sure it's the graphics card causing it because when I took it out and ran on integrated I don't have any of these issues. Also would like to note that although the fan gets loud and obviously it works the video card it doesn't seem to have much issue playing games and almost never just crashes from games, just videos.

Current system:
MSI G43 gaming motherboard
Intel I5 4690
Sapphire AMD 6870
8GB G. Skill 1333mhz ripjaws
120GB Samsung 840 EVO ssd
