Help computer dies and restarts randomly

I've built my computer couple years ago and has been working great until recently. Problem started when all of the sudden my computer would just start restarting out of the blue. I have tried running games that I normally run easy like gta3, unreal 2003,warcraft, and starcraft and my computer makes it to the loading screens and dies and in starcraft it dies in the middle of a game. CPU temp reads 49c after it dies and restarts so I dont think my cpu is overheating. I got a abit gf4 card begining pf this summer and has worked from then on and I dont think this is the problem either since my computer dies when I'm running non graphical intensive things like virus scans. At this point I've narrowed it down to either my motherboard (epox 8k7a) is crapping out. I bought the thing refurbished from newegg and to get it to work I have always had to hit the power button and then the restart button to get my computer to start. Or it could be my harddrive (wd 40 gig.) Which is more likely the problem or I may be way off. Any helps would be great thanks.
