Since installing a Titan GPU my PC is restarting (Starcraft II problem only)

Installed my Titan last night. Played SWTOR, FC3, TR and Crysis 3.

Today I've mostly been playing Starcraft II and 5 times now my PC has restared. I'll be playing, then boom, two beeps from my PSU and the whole PC restarts.

Full spec:
i7-2600k @ stock
16GB RAM
P8P67
256GB SSD
EVGA Titan
Enermax Infiniti 720W PSU

Temps are staying below 70 on the GPU.

Any ideas? is my PSU not capable of the Titan? Why is this only happening in Starcraft II, not exactly a demanding game?

I'm tempted to throw in my old 670 and see if it still does it.

They're solid.

Played TR for 3 hours last night, no issues at all. Seems to be only SCII that's causing the problems, odd.
 
Ok, three times in a row now at exactly the same point in the game. Starting to think this is a game issue perhaps?

Going to fire up BF3 in co-op with a mate and see how it goes.
 
Same point yet again, game restarts.

I only have a spare 400W PSU, not really good enough for my rig.

I'm really not wanting to spend any more money on my PC, I've just spent £1500 on a new GPU and monitor, my PSU should be fine for my rig? Sure it's dated but it was one of the best around in its time and definitely not bad now. :(
 
I have Prime95 and FurMark going side by side now, for at least 10 minutes.

CPU vcore 1.2V
GPU vcore 0.962V
CPU temp no higher than 60 on all cores
GPU temp 80

It has to be game related then Chris.

Check the forums and I will see if I can find anything as well.

Edit:

After not long of searching, I see this game is a bit of a mess with errors for everyone.

You can try some of the fixes here:

http://www.unigamesity.com/how-to-fix-starcraft-ii-crashes-freezes-and-low-framerate/

All pretty standardised and none of those should be needed. It doesn't seem to like multicore CPU's from lots of reading, so I would give disabling a couple of cores a try.

Most threads I found were when the original game was released, this is 2 years on.
 
To be honest, I am not sure if I've sold it, and if I haven't, I wouldn't have a clue where it is as my flat is half in boxes due to moving next week.

I'll try and get a diagram of which cables are plugged into what on my current PSU.
 
Ok, so the 8 pin comes straight off the PSU's bundle that goes to motherboard etc.

There were two six pin cables left, one left over from when I ran Crossfire 5850's.

I've connected the cards second supply to the red PCIe socket on the PSU, that is on the other side to the bundle cables.

So the 8 pin is from the bundle and remaining is now from the top left red socket on that pic.
