Help please. I'm not sure what is causing the problem, but when I play any games (crysis, Mass Effect...) after several minutes the system reboots. Sometimes it could be 5 minutes..other times it'll be 20+ minutes.

I'm pretty sure it's not a heat problem. The gfx card never goes over ~85oc

PSU is a Coolermaster 850W. I've got 2 HD drives in RAID, plus one optical drive. MB is an ABIT IN9 32 MAX.

Do need to RMA the card?
 
have you got another card to test out?It could be a different problem,have you got any other pci-e slots on your mobo?maybe trying the card in a different slot.
 
Just replaced an 8800GTX which was working perfectly.

Not sure how to test in a different slot - thought it only worked in the primary.
