sounds like
a) heat

b) psu problems
or
c) triple faults.
c) is a lot of time caused by memory problems. One thing causing
memory
problems is a bad psu.
so - in your case - just try a different psu. Ask a friend for one
for a
couple of days. If your problem stays, you have to look elsewhere.
I had to RMA my power supply a few weeks ago, it had the same symptoms.
Let's just say I'm very satisfied with Thermaltake's RMA policy.
Here's a simple test. Boot into BIOS and leave it there. If the
power supply
cycles, you'll find the machine booted into your OS. This eliminates
the OS
as a source of the problem.
