When did this start? Have you installed any programs or updates lately?
Try a clean boot and let us know how it goes

Is your monitor plugged into the graphics card via mini hdmi or dvi? Or are you plugged into the HDMI port near the usb ports etc

@mohammed72
Thought you would have called tech support for advise by now. Try this first
-Uninstall nvidia drivers
-Download Ccleaner and run registry clean up
-Download up to date drivers from nvidia, choose "660ti" as your gpu, if this doesnt work use dells OEM drivers
-Install and see what happens
Also try plugging your power brick into a different socket, i know one of my wall sockets is bad and has given be similar shut downs.
Also try a diffent anti virus program like the official microsoft security essentials (free) sometimes AV programs can cause strange restart/boot issues.
Let me know if this helps
