New PC, new problem.

Hello everyone. I recently made my own pc because my old one's motherboard was broken. I took some of my old parts that worked in my old pc and put them into the new one. I'll give you a list of what I bought new and what I transfered.
New Parts:
PSU - 750W
Motherboard - ASUS x58 Sabertooth
Case - Cooler Master HAF X Full tower case
New Heat Sink (Universal)
Old Parts:
9GB DDR3 Ram
ATI Radeon HD 4870
CPU i7 920 @ 2.67ghz
After putting the parts together, the computer worked fine for about 3 days. I even left it on overnight so that I could install windows. After I was done setting up the computer, I go on it and downloading a game called Team Fortress 2. After playing 5 minutes on it, the computer shuts off, the GPU fan goes loud and only a black screen shows. I then unplug turn off the computer, reboot it and the GPU fan goes full speed again with a black screen. I tried seating the graphic card on another PCI slot but the same thing happens. When I unplug the power from the GPU and turn on the computer, on screen it says that the power isn't connected to the GPU. After connecting it, the fan goes loud and only a black screen appears. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
