Hey guys! Lately my computer has been randomly shutting down, (about 3 times a day).
It used to happen only during gaming (COD2) however its starting to happen during web browsing and other simple tasks. I think it may be because of my power supply, but I am not positive. My CPU temps are 40 C idle and about 50 C when i game. Also whenever the computer shuts down, the power light on the front of the case flashes. I dunno if that helps. If you need any other info or anything plz let me know. Thank you for any input as i want to have a better idea of what the deal is before i spend money.

My system is
AMD 64 3800+ (no OC)
MSI K8N Neo4-F
nvidia 6600 256 mb - slighty overclocked
1gb of corsair value select ram
the PSU is the stock one that came with my apevia x-cruiser case.
420W, 18A on the 12v rail
