Hi,
Have you plugged the 1 x 4-pin Molex connector on your Intel motherboard?
Cheers!
 
What 700W PSU do you have? That's the first thing I'd look at when it shuts down under load.

I have to ask why you're running an r9 290 with a q6600 though? You'd be lucky to even reach half the performance that GPU can give with that CPU.
 
Sounds like the PSU is not able to supply clean power.
Need a better PSU and an entire pc upgrade if possible.
 
With that CPU and MOBO it would be a better idea to downgrade to an older GPU, since that DX48BT2 only has PCI-E x16 v2.0. An GeForce GTX 680 would be a nice one if you have the space and it surely would not give you problems regarding power...

I concur with posts 3 and 4 above, it looks to me that the 208W is the limit the PSU is giving the GPU, the 290 at peak gaming sucks 260 - 300 watts, def sounds like a PSU issue if I am reading this right.

I managed to fix the problem by editing the VBIOS
Thx for the Replies
