Hello all.
I recently purchased an EVGA GTX 770 (to upgrade my old ATi 5850 which still works with my hardware btw) and it doesn't crash when gaming(in fact I can play for 3 hours+, fine) but as soon as it idles or I'm browsing the web(latest version of Firefox) and listening to music... it shuts off and reboots.
I don't get a BSOD or anything, I've checked Event Viewer and it says it shut off unexpectedly.

I found this on Google

I have seemed to try everything... resetting BIOS, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox/Nvidia Drivers and the problem still persists.
I have tried an RMA and the 2nd one does the same thing, which tells me theirs something else causing this.
Also I have kept an eye on the voltage with HWMonitor and I don't notice any strange voltage spikes.
This is the one I have...

I've been using the card for 3 hours now, with no drivers whilst listening to music/browsing the web on Firefox and no problems.
Could this be a driver issue or is it possible that these problems are occurring because my CPU is at stock and this particular GPU is overclocked?
Thinking of just sending this card back and getting my money... then building a new PC next year.
