Hello, I recently upgraded my video card from a ATI XFX Readon HD 5870 to a eVGA GTX 680 FTW 4Gb card. Since the new card was put in I had a big problem, everytime I play a game, it could be 5 secs when it gets in game to a week longest it lasted before the screen would go black, sound keep playing for 3 secs then start sound looping for 3 secs followed by computer shuting off and rebooting on it's own. I thought it was the card so I sent it off RMA and got a brand new one in. Same issue 
Sooo since my cousin got a new custom build PC that I built for him which is newer componets then mine I decided to slap my GTX 680 in his and get back my old ATI 5870 card and ran a test to see in my computer would still do it with the old card I had in mine and see if the new GTX could do the same to his PC like it did mine...its been almost a month and no issues with either computers..0_o Soo I'm begining to wonder if their is a issue with my rig causing a really weird conflict issue idk but I pretty much decided to share and see if anyone might have an idea to whats going on im lost on this one lol I'm thinking it time to upgrade my MoBo, CPU and ram to the lastest as well and that fixing my issue, idk I hope so lol
