Ok so I have a new computer that i built and it worked fine before my PSU 750 watt cooler master 700B "blew up" then i got this new Ultra X3 850 watt PSU and now when i play games after like 1-3 min of play my comp just restarts i tried turning off SLI but that wasn't it so now im stuck im quite computer savvy so ive tried everything i know to fix it on the software side but i don't know if it could be a hardware problem i know the prob is not overheating it could be some f-d up driver problem that i don't know about but any way here are my specs

I know this is a bit of a late reply--have you tried reformatting and installing your OS fresh??

Also, have you tested any other power supplies? I realize yours died and you got a new one--but if you don't have a way to test it, you could be using another bad PSU (or even an underpowered one) without knowing it.

What did your old PSU do when it died? I may have over volted some of your hardware..
