What is the specs on your power supply? It might not be enough watts or amps to power the 780, or it may not be providing 'clean' power if it was constructed with cheap capacitors.

Good quality psu, shouldn't be the problem but it's possible. Have you tried updating your bios?

Most don't have a spare PSU lying around to test, but that's what I'd be looking at. Your 670 works fine, no crashes, you pop in a 780 and you crash. You have all the latest drivers, bios... all points to PSU. See if anyone has other ideas.

I have an old PSU its a RAIDMAX RX-850AE guess i can try that one see if it fixes it

Two words that shouldn't go together 'old' and 'raidmax'.

I take no responsibility if you put that in to test! 😀

Idk what else to do guess a can just get a replacement PSU because its still under warranty and if it doesn't work move on to another part.
