For a while my computer would randomly shutdown around twice a week. Now it's doing it 4 times a day. I did overclock the cpu at one time but since the random shutdowns began I took it back to normal.
I ran memtest and my memory is fine, so i don't believe it's the memory. I've ran antivirus and spybot, making sure it wasn't some type of malware/spyware/virus.
The PSU is an antec 430watt. and the rest of the rig is in my sig. Is there a program to where I can check the voltages on my power supply? If so, what should I be seeing or what shouldn't I be seeing.
All help is appreciated.

edit:
Well I upgraded to a fortron psu and upgraded my ram to 2x1gb patriot. I haven't ran memtest on it yet, but I'm assuming it's ok.
As for the random shutdown problem. It still does it. I've had this computer at my home and my apartment at school, and it does the same in both places. My roommates all have computers and theirs don't have the shutdowns, so I'm assuming power sags aren't a factor. Anyone else have any clues what this may be?
