I recieved the Gainward Phantom GTX 770 2GB For christmas, when the card is under heavy load or stress testing the whole machine just closes down. I have also noticed even when I was typing my password in, on the log on screen that it has happened. My Specs Are

Artic Blue 750w PSU
Gainward Phantom GTX 770 2GB
AMD FX8350 with Normal Cooler
8GB CRUCIAL SPORT RAM
1tb hdd

Here is a video of what is happening. (ignore noise in background)

Any help would be great, spoke to overclockers and they recommened sending the card to them.

Your PSU is probably the culprit. 750w for £30!

I would invest in a quality PSU form Corsair, BeQuite, Seasonic to name a few.
 
A quality 600w+ should do the job nicely, as mentioned by frosty, Corsair/Superflower/Seasonic/Antec are all recommended brands.
 
All will come with a minimum of 2 PCI leads ( 6 + 2) also have a look at the Superflower range as well.
 
That corsair one is made by CWT, they are okay but money can be spent better on another one. My vote goes to these badass superflower PSUs. I own the 1000w gold one as of the other day.
