It'll definately be the power supply - we had a problem with an nVidia
card and a 450W PSU, the games ran OK but when playing Far Cry for two
hours the PSU blew up (obviously the PSU was being overdriven and wasn't
regulated poroperly) !
We now have a 750W PSU and everything is fine - If you wish to maintain
cutting edge performance without continually replacing PSU you're
probably better getting a 1KW PSU :-)

It's probably related to your power supply. You are probably using too
much
power for it to handle. anything less than 350 watt power supply and you
are
asking for trouble. If you have alot drives etc then a 450 watt PSU
would be
the go.
Thanks but that's what I've got, 450 watts and it is plugged into the
card.
No other game besides Far Cry shuts the computer down.
