I had recently bought a new gfx card gtx560ti for bf3.My problem is that my pc keeps on restarting whenever i play more than 3-4 rounds.It did not happen with my previous gfx card which was 4870.I think it may be due to my power supply which is not of good quality.Or it may be due to gfx temp issue.Ideal temp for my gfx card is 35c and when i play bf3 temp rises to 72c is it normal?

My pc specs

CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k
M.B : ASUS Maximus IV GENE-Z LGA 1155
Power: Cooler Master PSU(SMPS) Power Plus 700W
GFX:GTX560TI
Ram:8 gb Kingston
Windows 7 64bit

72c is nothing too outrageous for a gfx card during gaming. The PSU seems to be a pretty decent quality one with ~50a on the 12v rail. You only went up about ~20amp max draw moving from the 4870 to the 560ti.

Try reseating the card and checking the 2x6 pin plugs to make sure they are seated as well. Have you tried it in both PCIe slots?

Are you overclocking the memory or CPU?

does that video card require the 4-pin power connector? if so you might want to check that its securely plugged in, perhaps the GPU is not getting the extra power it needs during the process of running bf3.
