that's shouldn't be an issue...
What is your PSU? brand? model?
tried installed the latest driver from AMD site?

Does it only happen when playing starcraft 2?

it could be overheating, SC2 overheats your card if vsync not enabled because of the ridiculously high framerates.

5770 isn't 2.0 from my know, it is a pcie 2.1 . 2.1 isn't compatible with many pci x16 1.0a . some people do have problem with it. I had very bad experience with ATI 5000 series. run local retainer 3 times to buy/return. you should either go get a 450 or 460.

MY PSU is OCZ 450W.
I have downloaded & installed latest drive from AMD. Still the same happened.
