1) your system overclocked at all?
2) how are your temps?

Return everything to stock speeds and see if it still does it.

What kind of power supply do you have?

Odd. First scan the machine for viruses. Use AVG if you don't have one.
Kill the overclocks.
Next, have you upgraded your video card recently? Did you go from an ATI card to the 8800 you've got now? Regardless of whether or not you had an ATI card, Follow Tweakguide.com's "Old Driver Removal" instructions, 1/4 of the way down the page and reinstall the latest drivers.
See if that works, if not I'd format and reinstall windows.

I would bet that is your problem right there.

From HERE (last paragraph)

Quote:

Before going out to buy a new power supply, it is first necessary to measure the power demand of your computer system. If the computer fails to boot up after switching it on, most users' initial assumption is that the power supply is defunct. If, however, the system constantly crashes during operation, or the screen freezes, most users will begin to look for faults on the motherboard and in the components. But, in this case, as well, it is worth checking the power supply prior to replacing either the motherboard or the graphics card.

Particularly with power supply models at the bottom end of the range that have been in use for a long time, voltage stability can diminish drastically. If the computer has recently been upgraded with new components, the old power supply will quickly become inadequate. Prior to purchasing a new power supply, a number of basic factors should first be considered.

And a not so stellar review of a Chiefmax 650w
