OS restart when using Regnum

Now, I have tried couple of benchmarks.
First, I ran Heaven Benchmark v2.1 to test DirectX 11. Graphics was max 69C, cores around ~55C.
Then, I ran FurMark for gfx and I let it to go to 80C (when OS restarted while RO was on (but DX, not OpenGL), it was 72C).
And after that, I ran prime95 to test CPU and it went to 76C (3 rounds of tests, then I stopped).
So, I loaded every part and it didn't crash OS or anything. It seems Regnum is one tough benchmark. :P
It might be PSU, maybe combo of CPU/GPU. Maybe I should try with some heavy game and see if same happens. But so far, only with Regnum PC restarts, which confuses me. I also tried OpenGL, shader 4, all max (except weather and weapon trails). It worked stable though FPS was 50-65.

Tomorrow we ll do in store 3DMark. I also found that enabling SATA AHCI mode for SATA 2, crashes OS login window. So it offered me recovery fix etc but no changes. Might be hdd too?? (it's WD Black edition SATA II 7200 32MB, 640GB)
I am still not sure why OS restarts with Regnum on. Thanks all for help, especially to Mira who was helping me all day about this. <3 If anyone has any other idea/theory, I would be thankful. And by the way, event logs say all the same:


@Uma: I was little on today, as soon as I fix this, you ll see me very often I hope :P

My gtx260 gets to 70ºC while playing so don't worry, those temperatures are normal.

One of my clannmates had a similar problem with a 9 series card (he's Chiquitico in the forums, but only speaks spanish), I'll ask him, but I think he solved the problem installing older drivers....
