Random shut downs can be caused by a VARIETY of things. You need to be more specific for anyone to really help...
Obviously this is the wrong place to post this, because this is the hacks section. So maybe a mod will move it to the proper location.

When was the last time you applied thermal paste to your CPU cooler? umm, idk what that is..
Did you build this PC or buy it? build.

for those cards is reconmended 500w of power to be going through, HOWEVER this is constant flow, check the label on your psu, it should say average power, even the high paid corsairs dont run at their set wattage, check your average Wats running through,
however you should be fine if it's running at the moment and you're not experiencing either shutdowns or screen blacks, you should be ok
