Try to stress the PSU with OCCT maybe..

That will stress the video card + the CPU +the RAM,max power!!!!if it crashes,it's because your PSU is damaged maybe?

OCCT here: Home

I have a little more testing to do but I may have discovered the problem. It could be the mobo trying to protect itself and shutting down or the system crashing because of hard drive failure (storage drives.) I had a custom cable made for me a while back so i could run multiple drives (4) off one power connector.
When i tested the modded cable the 3.3v completely failed on the power tester. I'm going to do a few more tests to confirm... hopefully the data is ok.

Let us know. Could be a bad cable/connection in the modded section

Agreed, but if your not comfortable doing this a psu tester would be the next step.
