here are my specs: gigabyte 990fx ud3
evga 560 ti
8gb corsair ram
corsair hx750 watt psu
coolermaster 212+
1tb samsung hardrive
1tb western digital hardrive

whenever I load a game (l4d2 for example) the game starts up fine, but then just as the map has finished loading and all the stuff is about to be displayed on the monitor, my computer restarts. I tried stress testing the cpu itself (100% usage) with amd overdrive and the computer is fine, but i tried stress testing the gpu and the computer instantly restarted, is this a psu or gpu issue? according to hw monitor, the psu is above 12 volts and 5 volts. I have no problems running a lower resolution/less demanding game. In fact, I was able to run l4d2 in 1320x768 without any problems
 
Do you have the latest nvidia drivers installed? What are your GPU temps reaching just before the reboot?
