During certain games, the entire computer will crash and reboot. This seems to be during certain times when the graphics requirements are heavy. When I run GPUZ, I see that the card is running in PCIE 8x 1.1 and when I ask it to do a test to see if the GPU will run in 16x, it crashes almost immediately. What can I do about this?

I have a Thermaltake TR2 600W power supply. Is the card drawing too much power for the PSU to handle?
