Hi all! This is my first post, but I have some questions about my new x850pro card I just got from best buy 2 days ago.

Everytime I try to start up a 3d application or benchmarking program my computer powers down after about 50-80 seconds. I have the fan running at 100% and it just turns off.

I think that this is problem of your power supply. How many Watts does your power supply have?

What are your temperatures during some 3D application? This could be a prolem of broken cooler. I had the same. I bougt my X800, but the cooler was damaged so everytime I ran 3D app. it crashed.
