computer crashes when running ocHashcat 1.31

Hi all! Smile

I am trying to run ochashcat on my brand new windows machine (Windows 7 64bit), after a minute or two ochashcat runs, the computer shuts down horrifically (completely shuts down, it doesn't even restarts!).
I installed all the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website, except the AMD Catalyst which is in version 14.9 (I had compatibility issues with ochashcat at the latest catalyst 14.12 version..)

First I suspected it was an insufficient power supply (I had a 1000W seasonic gold PSU) checking this website proved me right, so I quickly replaces the old 1000 Watts with a shiny new 1500 Watts Enermax. which has the exact same problem..

I though it might be an overheat problem, but the computer is in a conditioned room and the whole case is open for a better air flow. In addition, isn't it more reasonable defense mechanism to restart the computer instead of shutting it down so the fans will keep spinning?? or even more reasonable- the cards will down-clock themselves to a level they wont overheat??

Please help!

specs:

CPU: core i5 4460

Board: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK

RAM: 8GB

Graphics: dual AMD Radeon™ HD 7990 Graphics Card (total of 4 cores per 2 cards)

PSU: 1500W ENERMAX
