If the peak power draw is higher than the PSU can supply then the computer will either be unstable or it will shut down to save the components.

I used to be quite active here.

Your build shouldn't be using 1300w, not even close, so I don't think the PSU is the problem.

It you exceed your max wattage it should shut down, but how the hell are you using 1300W? No way in hell should you be using that, that setup be fine with a 850W if I'm not wrong. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

Try lowering the clock speed. May be a bad card though.

So you tried one card and it was fine. Tried the other card and your system crashes/shuts down? Then I would say you have a dying card. Send it in for RMA.
