this is probably due to the graphics card overheating.

It would be so much more helpful if you could give us your system specs.

Im guessing PSU might be a problem.

no, i do beleive the cause it, when your surfing the net or watching a movie, your pc gets a diffrent signal then when your playing a game, go into your computer options or tx options and change the standby time or completly shut this off, if your computer keeps running its no psu or graffic card. its something with the tv. are you running a hdmi cable or a pci cable

Never heard of that PSU

How old is it?

How much was it

And can you give us the info on the sticker on it.

Mainly the numbers of Amps on the 12v Rail(s)

And do you have the PCi-E power connector plugged in?

So its a budget PSU bascially.

It could well be that, although even a cheap 600W shouldnt struggle with a 3870. But its obviously not going to last all that long.

Have you got another (decent?) PSU you can test?

Doy ou have to reboot the PC when it happens?

Does it only do it in certain games?

Are you running the latest video/chipset/directx drivers, etc?
