Built a new system recently, specs as follows:
i5 2500k, msi gen3 mobo,Kingston HyperX 16gb RAM, Lepa B series 750W 80 Plus Bronze, Radeon HD4850, 2 WD blacks 1TB (RAID 1) and 1 WD 2TB Green, plus a DB ROM, USB , Win 7 64bit, Direct X 11
Have run following test:
Been playing portal 2 lately with no probs at all.
however during Crysis 2, system shutsdown during initial stages of game (submarine, when I am about to open door underwater)... its a proper shutdown and not a reboot or an abrupt shutdown...
upon switching pc back on and going into the game, it switches off even quicker i.e. before I even get to the underwater door opening scene...
Thought it was just Crysis 2, so I installed Civ V and was playing for approx half an hour when system shutdown!
not sure what the problem is, as per above, temp readings seem to be fine and also graphics card was working fine in my old system (on which I played Crysis 1 with no probs). Would be very suprised if it was PSU as I have been told its a decent brand...
graphics card drivers are latest version as I downloaded once doing a clean install of windows.
any ideas?
thanks

Have run following test:
- Prime95 high FPUs for approx 45 mins, full load, temps maxed out at 75C for 3 cores with the remaining core being around 66C.
- RTIH HDL app for GPU, maxed out everthing for 20 mins or so and no probs
- ran the above simultaneously with Prime 95 for 20 mins
- ran 3D Mark Vantage on Extreme mode, tests went through fine
