Hello. I running into a rather annoying problem with my GTX 970: When using Adobe Photoshop CC, Adobe Premire Pro and Affter effects cc, the PC will suddenly shut down and restart after using for a while. My specs are as follows:

Asus M5 A99fx Pro R2.0
Amd fx 8350 4.0
16gb (2x8gb) corsair Vengence
250gb samsung ssd 850 evo
1TB HDD
zotac geforce GTX 970
Corsair VS 550W Power Supply
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo

I even updated my graphic drivers as well but still the problem persists.

Now I'm not sure if my VS550 can actually handle all that ?

Another way to test your PSU would be

Go into windows power management and pick low power mode. This will slow your PC and reduce the load on your PSU.
If the problems go away, you need a better PSU.

Actually, I suggest you need a better PSU anyway
Look on the toms hardware PSU tier list.
That PSU was also my thought on the matter.
And you are not getting any log files(for errors) after reboot ?

Do you have an less heavy GPU lying around ? Or a friend who can give it to you to test? this will probably give you a good idea.
