Look familiar? Unfortunately, can't tell if that is SLI/Xfire or 80-Plus certified. So, that may very well be your problem---especially if it isn't certified. Uncertified units don't have a confirmed level of output under extreme conditions (high loads and/or high heat), and tend to degrade at a much faster rate. For instance, a certified 600 watt almost guarantees you will get 480 watts out of it under high load or a hot environment--a lesser quality may only be able to deliver ~400 under the same rigorous conditions.

Might want to check on that with the one you found at Newegg too. If it doesn't have one of those certifications, it may start to give you problems after you've run it hard for a bout a year or so and you will need to replace it again.

That one does have the 6 pin pci connectors that you need for your card.

I still recommend under clocking your vid card just to see if it stops shutting down your computer.

No it's not down. You just need to wait it out. It happens at times.

i got it and just hit 20 min mark without it shutting down. this will need more testing though. it ran fine for 2 hours yesterday when i bumped it to standard. then started again. but is running smooth and no shutdown yet. I'll keep yall posted. new PSU should be here by friday
