Turns out, power supples are rated for wattage and for the max amperage they supply on each power line. The box for my video card said it requires a powersupply with 26amps on the 12 volt line.
On the sticker on the side of your powersupply it should list the amperages on each rail. Mine was a max of 16amps. It was actually pretty tough to find a power supply with 26 amps on the 12 volt rail, but since I replaced it I haven't had the problem of it shutting off on me again.
Strange thing was, I had the video card for weeks before the problem cropped up, and it was after installing Warhammer Online which pushes the graphics card harder than WoW used too. Then it started happening in WoW too but probably because I had turned up my graphics settings.

Nope the card I was using in my PC I used for about a year, I went to the States (USA) for about 3 months, which is where I bought AoC. Then I came back to China, and this is when the problem happened.
