I recently built a computer and been playing a few games on ultra settings without issues. Well last night I bought Rust and was playing it and about 3 minutes in my computer rebooted. Booted the computer back up and tried playing Rust again....then it rebooted again. So got things going, turn the graphics settings down and the game ran fine. So being curious I download 3Dmark and ran a test...about 8 minutes in the computer rebooted. Could it be my power supply is not putting out enough juice? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6BQyRB

Have you monitored your CPU and GPU core temps when this happens? Might be a overheating issue. Maybe you can keep a window open to watch temps. Or another monitor.
Also check the 6 pin connector to be sure it is far enough that it snaps over the locking nub. It could be backing out as the card heats up. Same with the 24 pin and 4/8 pin MB connectors.

Well I did check the GPU temps at the time it happened and they were fine. I will check all the connectors tonight when I get home and be sure they are connected good.
