    I hate to bring up an old thread, but I have a 6870 and the same exact problem. Once the graphics card reaches 75 celsius, the computer shuts down. This didn't start happening until recently. Did the OP ever find a solution? I can set the fan speed to a manual 40-45% and it'll stay below, but I think it's odd that 75c, though hot, would be hot enough to make the computer shut down.

    I'm saving up for a new PSU and hope that works.
    Sorry I can't be of any more help.

    It would be helpful to know the configuration, age of components, Unique equipment, if any, etc.
