is it because of my Generic Power supply? i have HD3870 and E4500
It is because of the weak HD3870. The generic power supply puts your system at risk because it can fail due to cheap components and can take other components with it too. Anyway:
What resolution and graphic detail level are you playing at?

sir 1440x990 but still sir if I lower the resolution in 1024x768 it also drops
You can get a few more FPS by OC'ing that proc, but as dragon stated you need a better PSU first. The one I listed is a good PSU that I have used before. If you want to OC I recommend picking up a new heatsink.

Then pick up the GFX card I mentioned above, as that 4850 destroys all of the 3xxx series cards.
Hang on a minuite am i going batty here or did no one actually ask what the specs of this PSU actually are ??
The hardware listed is weak compared to what i would consider mainstream at the minuite certainly but the two are pretty much well balanced.
Sure you could overclock the CPU a bit but as said its down to what the PSU is actually capable of.
I have seen generic PSU's at 600 Watts that could handle whats being suggested here easily.
So it depends on a couple of things for me, What Wattage is the PSU and if you know it whats the Amps rating on its 12v Rail/s
Also is the Hardware you listed as bought or is the PC self built or did you upgrade the Graphics,etc.
Sorry about that I just got excited with my low buck high performance rig..I would definatly look at the PSU and possibly return it. May have issues. With a bad power supply cutting out power in the middle of the game sounds like it. Either that or your overmaxing out your Video Card. I had mine cut out like that once as well when first running COD4 but after a reboot it has not done that to me again. I play it for an 1 to 2 hours at a time. Hope that helps..
