Get Windows 7. LOL just messin ya. Do you have a utility that can monitor CPU and GPU temperatures? If you have an overheating problem, the system will shut down to protect itself. Try removing the case side panel and play and see if extra ventilation helps. Awards

Is it a multirail design? It might be that the PSU cables are hooked up to the same internal rail...you might want to try another PCI-E power connector from the PSU... Also, like others mentioned, it could also be heat...the trick of the "open case" + household fan pointing in it might tell you that if the computer now doesn't crash anymore it means your case had bad airflow, or lack of fans... download MSI afterburner, enable in-game display (OSD) choose temperatures and FPS...so you'll get in the game, you'll be able to monitor your temperatures...and if you see the 3D clocks dropping (thermal throttling), you'll see if the card is trying to "save itself" Is the computer shutting down only in 3D applications? If it does, it narrows it down to HEAT or POWER issue... Awards

A 2.0Ghz dual core will bottleneck that card. MSI Afterburner- http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/ EVGA Precision- http://www.evga.com/precision/

There's even an Nvidia 400/500 Series Lockup Club: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=187401 We now seem to be at a point in graphics technology where you pretty much need to buy a new system with the card installed, when you wish to upgrade graphics.

Does anybody know what I can do to fix my latest issue.. Yes, buy a Mac, even if you run Windoze or Linux on it, you'll have some of the most solid reference hardware out there. If you choose to run the native OS you'll have an even better experience!
