Crashes after card upgrade?

Hey folks

I recently purchased a Asus Nvidia 285 from OcUK the other day. The install went fine and initially I was getting some BSOD's. I upgraded the bios on the board (board as in specs) and since then its been perfect.

However I have noticed that whenever I try to play a game it loads it and runs it fine for say 3 minutes and then the game will just close itself?

More often than not there is no warning and no error message, etc?

I'm just wondering is this a possible power issue? I have a 600w PSU which is branded as a Jeantech? Asus Probe for the board shows my rails as follows - 3.3v = 3.33, 5.0v = 4.95, 12v = 12.03

All of the temperatures are fine as well and I havent overclocked the graphics card but my CPU is clocked but everything is rock solid with no issues out of 3D, and 3D games are fine bar the bugging out after 3 minutes??!

Hope someone can help!

Thanks

Phil
