Urgent Help With 6870 (Again)

So everything is fine , until I run Crysis. I have no idea what it is but around half an hour or whatever into Crysis 2 I crash. My whole computer just shuts off, keep in mind that my processor never hits over 70 Celsius (which is it's max/stress), and my GPU (6870) never goes over 60-65 Celsius. I have just gotten a brand new PSU and GPU. What could the problem be? I can't figure it out T_T. Thanks for the help. And it's a 650 Watt (not known/the best) PSU.
Thank you!
 
Nope, I recieved no BSoD's, I just assumed it was the PSU so I replaced it with my 400 watt Dynex and I have had no problems whatsoever with Crysis 2 maxed out. Is that safe btw? A 400 watt PSU with a 500 watt GPU minimum? I have 2 Cd/RW writers and some fans, and a 6870, along with a 630 Quad Core. So far everything has been going great. Or should I get a 500-600 watt just to be safe?


I'm returning the crappy 650 watt that didn't work right.

I found another website with my same ATI 6870 brand saying it's a 400 watt minimum.

I've read online at multiple places that a 400 watt is suggested and will work perfectly when using the HD 6870, even under immense stress. You think this is a bad idea?
