Video card or Power supply problem??

I had just installed my PNY GTX 260 video card and an Enermax Pro+ 520W power supply. Everyhting is well connected. I had tried playing Crysis and Bioshock. Everything is set on high settings. When I play Bioshock, it runs, it plays the beginning of the cutscene. But when cutscene ends, and when I ready to play, the computer eithers restarts by itself or it just freezes with a black screen.BTW I have a an Intel Duo core 2 6320 model and OCZ 2GB ram.But when I just surf the net, everything works normal, even playing WoW, its just working normal. But when I play demanding graphic games, its just freezes or it just restarts the PC. Video card or Power supply problem??
Could easily be one or the other - have you tried using your old graphics card and seeing if the problem goes away?Video card or Power supply problem??

Bump!
Is your computer well ventilated? PCs have a tendancy to randomly restart if they over heat. Make sure you have adequate cooling.
ok it could mean your graphic card either consumes too much power on load for your power supply to handle or it gets to hot on load try measuring your tempertures
