Edit: It seems I might be safe. The PC didn't restart again and it was open for more than 48 hours.

What kind of power supply do you have? I'm talking about manufacturer's name and its power capacity.

I bought a new HD 6950 and put it to work at mining. But I encountered several problems. First, when its mining and I try to put a youtube video, the PC freezes. I am almost certain that this is related to the 98% usage of the video card while mining. Edit: I found out that this related to the flash hardware acceleration.

But the problem that worries me is that the PC restarted a few minutes ago without any error or warning, without even using it. I was in another room at the time so I didn't see what was going on. The temperature of the card was a steady 65C, so okay. Is there any way to check why it restarted? I am using Win7. I didn't see any error message when the system restarted.

The PC was left alone to do mining for about 14 hours with no problems. I am using guiminer.

I didn't overclock the card and I don't want to do it.
