Random reboots while playing WoW

I'm usually pretty handy with PC hardware but I'm completely stuck. My computer runs fine but if I play WoW, couple minutes or 2 hours into the game, my computer restarts. I made sure it wasn't the CPU (it runs at about 45C at idle and 52C while playing WoW. I swapped out video cards from 9800PRO to X800GTO to X800XL. I changed the memory sticks. The only thing I haven't changed is the PSU.

The computer runs fine and its only when I play WoW. Could it be possible that I have 3 bad video cards?

TIA

When it restarts, do you get a minidump written to c:\windows\minidumps?
