HELP! not enough power?

[envy3699]

I just installed a new GPU (Asus r9 290) and power supply (Corsair CX750) into my computer. Unfortunately i have a problem. My computer is randomly restarting without warning and no BSOD. It happens when playing games or when surfing the internet. I went into event viewer and it says Kernel-Power 41 (63) which im guessing means not enough power. but I have a corsair CX 750 watt to power my asus r9 290. Is it not enough power to support my system?????? does it matter what 8 pin and 6 pin i use to plug into my GPU? Or is it something else.

Specs:

Gigabyte Ga-78lmt-s2p Motherboard

Phenom 2 x6 1045T stock cooler

2 x 4gb Corsair vengeance RAM

Asus r9 290 4gb directCU II

Corsiar cx750 

old laptop hard drive

OCZ 128gb SSD

check your GPU, how meany pins do it need? 

 

and are all connectors put in as i supposed to, if you have a loose connection it might be the problem too?

Look at the lables on the psu cables. You might be using the CPU 8 pin cable for the gpu, thats what im guessing.

You need to use pci-e 6+2 pin cables.
