It could be the power supply, but it could also be an overheating issue. What is your CPU temp (at idle & under load)?

If you don't have a monitoring program installed, try looking in the BIOS. Just tap the DEL key during bootup to bring up the menu, then use the arrows keys to navigate. There should be a menu choice called PC Health (or something similar)...highlite it & hit ENTER.
