It shuts off because not enough power is getting to your GPU or CPU. Getting a better PSU should solve this. I've had first hand experience.
His GPU shouldn't require more than a 500W PSU. Its a mainstream card that only consumes about 150-200W top. Add on the CPU at about 95W TDP and hard drives. He would be no where close to consuming 500W. Chances are he got a shotty PSU from a bad company or just a bad PSU. You can SLI and almost SLI 3 cards on a 900W PSU, so this suggestion would just be considered overkill
Some Tier 1 and Tier 2 products to check on are, which are going to be your most recommended :
- Corsair AX Series
- Corsair TX Series
- PC Power & Cooling
- OCZ ModXStream (600W is one of the more recommended ones)
- Seasonic PSUs
- Antec Earthwatts at about 450W and above are pretty good
- Antec High Current Gamer series
- Rosewill Capstone Series
- Rosewill Fortress Series
- Enermax PSUs
