750 watt is more than enough for your specs. In fact, your wasting money buying a psu with that much wattage. Something like 550watt should be enough. Maybe 450 watt, but i think thats cutting a little close.

Depends which 750W. If it's a good 750W such as Corsair, it's ridiculous overkill, your PC currently only requires around 350-375W when burning with all 4 DVD drives at once. However, if it's a cheapo tacky unit, you want it replaced immediately, as almost all cheap no-name brand units will fail before 300W.

I would test simpler stuff first, but don't discount the issue being power related, Ultra units are far from high-quality PSUs.

Does your screen simply go black or does your monitor also enter powersave mode?

it goes black or turns green or checkered with the sound looping. it depends on the on the game. i have ran memtest86 all night last night as thats what the xfx guy said to test. it had no errors at all.

Sounds like either dodgy drivers, bad card, or a PSU problem.
