You could try a program like ExpertCheck or TuffTest though I doubt their accuracy entirely. Do a google search using words like 'hardware', 'testing', 'software', 'computer', etc. to turn up others. Did you go into your bios and check the voltage levels? Most of the newer mb's have hardware monitoring features where you can check this. Ideally you're not more than 5% off normal voltages. How many watts is your psu rated for? E-Machines and HP's were notorius for low-end psu's. You're looking up the right alley. Sounds like mb or psu. Might also do a stress test using some kind of burnin software. HeavyLoad is one I've used. Hope this helps.
