Random reboots under load is usually a sure sign of an inadequate or failing PSU. However, what matters most is not the PSU's nominal total wattage but its real 12v capacity. The x1300 is not a power hog, drawing about 31W in 3D mode, so if your system is not otherwise drawing heavily on the 12v rail(s) I'd suspect the PSU is failing.
