What does the BSOD say? If it is restarting by itself, it is likely the PSU. You might also check temperatures with a tool like RivaTuner.

"a problem has been detecyed and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
if this is the first time youve seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If the screen appears again, follow these steps:

Cheak to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation asked your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advance startup options and then select safe mode.

Technical Info:
*** STOP: 0x00000050 (0xE46B3000, 0x000000000, 0x8053AB62, 0x000000001)

Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your systems admin or technical support group for further assistane."

Thats what comes up on BSOD.
I've checked the temperatuers for the GPU and the CPU with a programme real temp and it tells me both thermal temps are OK
