Hi, I built a new system on Wednesday and I'm having problems with it cutting off. I was looking forward to exploring the world of overclocking as well.

As it stands I have not tried overclocking it...

MSI P67A-GD53 (B3)
i5-2500k
Corsair XMS 3 PC3 - 12800
Be Quiet! Dark Rock Advanced
Gainward GTX 570 Phantom
Antec High Current Pro HCP-750
Asus Xonar DX
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate

When I was installing Windows updates the computer cut off and restarted it's self(a click then everything lost power). Since then I have managed to install all the updates and it runs fine when Im on the net and listen to music.

When I run a stress test in FurMark the computer cuts off as soon as it starts. Also tried to play Crysis 2 but again the system cuts as the actual game play is loading.

Ran Prime95 stress test and memtest-86 both of which didn't have any problems. I used a PSU tester to check PSU and that got the all clear.

I turned off automatic restart but I dont get a blue screen, just a click then system losing power and then restarts its self.

I tried running the system with my old GTS 250 and everything runs fine including Crysis 2 and Furmark. Some one mentioned it sounds like a power issue, I take it the GTS 250 would draw less power than the GFX 570? I don't want to just jump to the conclusion it's the GFX 570 and send it back when it could be something else.

Anyone have any ideas, thanks.
 
I took the soundcard out and ran Furmark and it ran fine. The temp stayed below 70 but when the computer has been cutting off the GPU has been sitting at around 33, it doesn't get the chance to heat up as it just restarts the whole system.

I turned the Furmark stress test off and then turned it back on, same thing happend as before whole system cuts off and restarts, this was with the sound card still out.
