This sound like a PSU problem?

Since a few days ago ive been getting increasing instances of my computer rebooting for no apparent reason, including files on my HDDs occasionally getting corrupted.
My coputer now reboots when it is under even minor load (running 3dmark/prime95 isnt an option, it even rebooted earlier because i loaded outlook).
What else could be causing these reboots? I tested the memory earlier to find that one stick was faulty and the other fine, the bad stick is now removed.

Also whenever my machine restarts the signal from the video card takes quite a while to get detected and the HDDs have to spin up again.

Ive checked the voltages with MBM 5, they are fine. Could this be a PSU problem or does it sound like something else?

Could be PSU. Have MBM log voltages to a file and check them right after a reboot - maybe there's a voltage drop that causes the reboot.
