Every so often when i try to open a new program or in the middle of gaming my computer will shut off. its not overheating i'm sure of it. my mobo is a gigabyte GA-7S748-L, could it possibly be my motherboard not liking being on 8x? or could it be my video card? or something else.

it may be my power supply, its only 350watts and i have 5 fans and a dvd drive plus everything mentioned above. anyone else think it could be that? my event logs doesn't have anything in them beside dcom errors which i hear is a bug in xp.
