I think you have misunderstood my previous post, sorry for not being clearer, if i could maybe explain ?
Firstly I seriously doubt your PSU is overheating.
What is more likely is that the amps or watts on your PSU are not sufficient to deal with a fluctuation in demand that you are putting on it.
A temporary loss of power to the GFX Card / CPU directly or obviously the motherboard can cause the machine to shut down.
you might like to try this site : PSU Req Checker
The 6600Gt card is a monster and will swallow up your supply.
My gut reaction is 350W may not be enough but try the link and see what it suggests.0 -
HI,
I would suggest that you try motherboard monitor 5 (google: MBM5) and see your temperatures---if they are running over 60C then you need more colling fans.0
