Crashing after a short period of time- sounds like you have an overheating issue. Watch your temps over time, and take a good hard look at the card's mounting.

If it is a heat issue, it means that the HSF is not properly mounted; you can either try remounting it yourself, or RMA it back to MSI for a replacement.
 
thx for the quick reply this only started like 3 weeks ago i just checked the k mark combined test leaderboard and someone with similar rig achived a similar score with 20 degrees lower so it must be that. i have the MSI N670GTX-PM2D2GD5/OC which looks like a bitch to open etc plus im not that confident that i could do it im going to contact the place i bought it in the morning thx for the help
