I guess you should stress your hardware by playing a game and then you should test the temperature od the CPU and the GPU.

but how. since it shuts down....

well study the time when it shuts down.Use program that tests temps, and than after half a minute see what temperatures are

The max temperature the card got while playing was 95 degrees while playing timeshift on highest.

HOLY SH*T!

If we didn't know it was a heat issue before, we do now!

I do want to check one more thing though:
Download and run FurMark. I bet it will crash the comp, but there is a temp monitor, so let us know the temps it reaches.

i have the latest directx. but seriously do you really think the PC would shut down with every game when playing a minute to 5 minutes, because DX is not up-to-date?

It is overheating in the extreme. You can open it up and blow it out with air if you want, or send it back and tell them the problem.
