Hi once again,
Just found out that it is happening the same think when I stress the GPU.
Also found that if I limit the Clock setting, evertyhing works fine.

The question now is, The issue is in the PSU or in the Radeon XFX 7970?

Hello guys,
First of all I would like to inform that I have noticed that TomsHardware.com has a lot of topic with this same issue I am asking for, however I already tried everything and I’m still getting the same error.

Every time I try to play Counter-Strike Global Offensive (online or offline) my computer restarts without showing any error on screen or in the Windows EventLog. It just shuts down and starts again. In fact the computer shutdown exactly after the loading screen as soon the first image will appear.
What seems curious is that I only having this issue with CS. I tried SimCity and other 1080p-3D video and everything runs fine.
There were some cases the CS starts and I was able to play for 40s before it happened again.

My PC:
• Gigabyte Intel Z77 LGA1155 CrossFireX/SLI Dual Lan Dual UEFI BIOS with Bluetooth 4.0/Wi-Fi Expansion Card GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB WiFi
• Intel Core i7 3770 Processor 3.4 GHz 4 Core LGA 1155 - BX80637I73770
• Corsair HX Professional Series 750-Watt 80 Plus Certified Power Supply
• Corsair Vengeance Blue 16 GB DDR3 SDRAM Dual Channel Memory Kit
• XFX FX797ATDBC Double D HD 7970 Black Edition 3GB DDR5 1000M 2xmDP HDMI DVI PCI-E Graphics Card
• TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless N900 PCI Express Adapter,2.4GHz 450Mbps/5Ghz 450Mbps, Include Low-profile Bracket
• 2xHD for Data (1x1.5Tb for Windows and 1x500Gb for Mac Data)
• 1xSamsung Evo 120GB 2.5-inch 840 EVO SSD for Mac OS (Hackintosh)
• 1x OCZ Agility 3 128gb for Windows OS
• Nobreak APC BZ1500PBI-BR 1500VA (825W)

SO:
• Windows 7 x64 just after complete formatting and reinstall on OZC SSD
• Windows 8 x64 just after complete formatting on OZC SSD
• Apple Mavericks x64 (hackintosh) on Samsung Evo SSD

Temps:
Standby: CPU: 38 Celcius, GPU: 35 Celcius
Using a Stress Test: CPU: 70 Celcius GPU: 40Celcius
In Game (Just before it restarts): CPU: 42 Celcius GPU: 38 Celcius

Things that I’ve tried:
• Unplug all HDs leaving only the OCZ SSD with a just formatted computer.
o Windows 7 x64
o Windows 8 x64
• Run CS with minimum quality settings
• Run CS in 800x600 in window mode– One time I was able to play 40 seconds. The others same thing.
• Change the thermal paste from CPU
• Open XFX 7970 (GPU) to clean some dust (it was just a little bit dirt)
• Downgrade the driver for the Graphic Card
• Run CrystalDiskInfo for all the HD. All HD shows as good and the OCZ show a Health Status as Unknown.
• Put a phone charger on the Nobreak during this error to see if the Phone stops charging it (nothing happened)
• Change the Wifi card from TL-WDN4800 to the one that came with the motherboard
• Change the 4Gb Memory RAM slots
• Change the Graphic card between slots.
• Tried to use different Monitor.
• Install Counter-Strike on the 1.5Tb HD that I use for Data.

Does anyone have any idea of what is happening?

Best Regards,
