Hi, I bought GTX 660 Synergy Edition Last year (July 2015).

After about 5 months my pc started restarting without bsod, it was clear then that its power supply problem but i tried a ups then an inverter and problem wasn't fixed. SO i just started living with it 1-2 restarts everyday. Let it be clear that restarts were not event driven.

It was fine until today when i started my game (Dota 2) and pc restarted. I did it again and again restart. so i updated driver same problem.So restarts are now event driven.Then i removed the gfx card and ran on onboard graphics and game ran fine (with bad graphics).
And there is no random restarts since i have removed the card.
My psu watt is 450 which is required by my graphics card

Edit: PC restarts as soon as i do GPU stress test on Furmark (GPU Connected)

Corsair VS 450 , i have not yet tried different PSU. Ill try to borrow a PSU today to test will post result
 

That is a pretty low quality PSU so that could be causing issues. Are your temps okay by the way?

I tested with another cheap PSU and the problem seems to be resolved. Sorry i took so much time, i had to be sure.
I cashed in warranty for my PSU

Thanks all!!
 

Okay I'm glad that the issue is solved, make sure to get a high quality PSU
