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

I've never been able to get the CPU over 4.5 and always hit a limit with graphics cards and I just put it down to poor batches but now I think it's been the PSU all along.

Ah well, the Seasonic looks to be a beast and should be able to power two Titan's if that need ever arises.

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:

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.

Spot on that is Gregg. Despite having a 2600k @ 4.8ghz and Xfire 7970s its ran like a bag of ***** for me. Hopefully this will sort it
 
Well I've been playing SC2 all day at max settings on my GTX 670 and it's been flawless, except for one driver crash. I'm going to keep the 670 in the computer till the Seasonic arrives and by that point I'll have moved anyway.

What OS are you on?

Get to Control Panel > System and Security > System

Advanced System Settings on left > Start Up and Recovery > Settings

Look at system failure > Untick Automatically Restart

Then next time it poos itself, it shouldn't just hard reset. You will get at least a BSOD and be able to take a pic or write down the error message.

If it does, then something more sinister low level is going on and you can consider hardware.

And/Or you could just grab a free little program called bluescreenviewer by ncsoft. Its spot on and will give you error codes and everything you will need to get to the bottom of the mighty BSOD!

I've used that before. Its pretty handy but it won't give you the answer you're looking for. You'll still need an expert to examine the mini dump file. Someone will look at it here. http://www.sevenforums.com/
 
New PSU arrives today. Not sure I can test it all out till this weekend though.

Starcraft 2 didn't hard reset at all with the 670 in so it was definitely the PSU.
 
Have you checked what temps you are getting when in the starcraft menus? Blizzard kinda screwed up with the menus in starcraft. There's no frame limiting so a card will just render as much as possible and reach 1,000+ fps and try to kill its self. If I didn't edit the ini my old 8800 ultra would get to about 90+ degrees from just sitting in the menus for 5 minutes. It wouldn't even get that hot playing the game or any other game for that matter. max temps on load were normally 70c

starcraft would never crash for me in the menu though It would only crash when a game started and being stressed with something other than rendering menu screens.

It's probably not the cause of what your experiencing but something to consider and test out.

I know that's 2010 but they never did make a patch for it. not in wings of liberty at least

Bang on as per there :)

I kept getting blue screens from that game and it turned out that an overclock which had been stable for 15mth suddenly wasnt!
